In this 2-part programme of workshops we will look at how we can make more climate-friendly food choices in our daily lives. Join us for our Plate Up for Fife workshop programme where we will focus on two themes:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorkshop 1: Reducing our food waste: -Thursday 23rd March- 6pm – 8pm. We will be talking about common foods that get thrown away and exploring ways to change that. \nYou’ll also be making Potato Gnocchi\, Homemade Pesto from seasonal Spring Greens and a Fruit Crumble using creative toppings (and leftovers)! \nWorkshop 2: Eating locally and seasonally: Thursday 30th March 6pm-8pm. We’ll be talking about the benefits of eating with the seasons and ways to access local ingredients. You’ll make a dish using seasonal vegetables and finish with a rhubarb dessert! \nWe’ll also be talking about ways we can reduce our meat and dairy consumption\, reduce packaging and eat healthily. It’s important to attend both workshops to get the full benefit of the programme. \nThere will be lots of information to share about the workshop topics to help generate discussion and have fun learning from each other! \nPlease bring some containers to take home your food. If you have any dietary requirements or allergies\, please let us know when you are booking. \nPlate Up for Fife is part of Climate Action Fife – a Fife-wide partnership project\, bringing together individuals\, communities\, local government and businesses to tackle the climate emergency.

You can easily make an excellent free soil improver\, for your garden or pots\, that you don’t need to transport or buy from the garden centre. \nCome and join us for some fresh coffee or tea\, which we can add to the composter! At the workshop we will discuss what space and equipment you need\, then learn about the different types of materials you can put in to your compost bin to get a perfect mix. \nUsing your own compost helps reduce the need to use shop bought fertilisers\, builds soil health\, and make plants and soils more resilient to drought. \nThere will be a mixture of discussion and activities to ensure you go away inspired and confident to get started. We will also look at possible problems and what should and shouldn’t go in to give you the best chance of producing great compost. \nAbout our tutor\, Dr Liz Lakin: Trained originally as a school biology teacher\, Liz continues her teaching and research in biology and environmental science at Dundee. She has a keen interest in all things to do with plants. \nThis event is suitable for beginners. Drinks will be provided. This will be an outdoor event with some shelter so please wear suitable outdoor clothing for the weather. \nBooking info\nThe event is free but booking is required. \nIf you are having trouble booking you can call 01592 858458 or email info@greenerkirkcaldy.org.uk for assistance. \nAccessibility\nThere is unmarked parking on site.

Soil also stores carbon by locking in greenhouse gases\, helping to reduce our impact on climate change. \nKnowing about soil and what it needs will help you produce bumper crops and vigorous plants. Learning to use natural improvement methods will save time and money\, plus you will create a healthy habitat for thousands of different species of fungi\, bacteria and invertebrates that in turn support and maintain your soil. \nAt the workshop we will learn about the different types of soil\, why the chemistry of soil is important and do some testing. We’ll also discuss ways to improve your soil and give an overview of the important elements of a healthy soil. \n* To get the best from the workshop please bring along a soil sample from your own garden or an area you use for growing. Place some soil in a medium sized jar\, about 1/3\, then fill up with water and leave to settle. Ideally\, do this 2 weeks before. \nAbout our tutor\, Dr Liz Lakin: Trained originally as a school biology teacher\, Liz continues her teaching and research in biology and environmental science at Dundee.

We will share how our work engages people on climate change whilst helping them heat their homes more affordable and allowing them to eat well. From there\, we will visit our Community Bike Shop\, Lang Toun Cycles\, where we will hear how our projects are encouraging people to get on their bikes. And finally\, we will take a route past Ravenscraig Castle\, up through the park\, to visit our growing project at Ravenscraig Walled Garden. \nThis walk is part of Kirkcaldy Walking Festival. \nThe Route\nThe route is roughly 3 miles in length and total duration of the event will be around 1 hour 45 minutes with a walking time of around 1 hour.
