Inspired by the resilience and restorative properties of seaweed the founders of ‘SeaGrown’ embarked on a mission to improve the health of our oceans and combat climate change through sustainable seaweed cultivation.

We will hear about how seaweed has the power to heal our oceans by absorbing excess nutrients, reducing pollution and improving water quality. In 2018 they moved from wild harvesting to a site four miles off shore from Scarborough , the UK’s first seaweed farm. On shore they have a shop, visitors centre, café and education room. Their work not only cleanses our oceans it educates in the ways that seaweed can be used for foods, drinks and hair and skin products. These products will be on sale at our meeting in time for you to buy in time for Christmas.

ABC Gardening Club meets monthly from August to April in The Conference Centre at Askham Bryan College, near York. There is plenty of free parking. Membership is open to all. We are a friendly, supportive group of gardeners who come together socially to hear talks, visit gardens and share our love of gardening.
