This weekend is for ex-students of the Mother Gardens bootcamp, and our Green Skills courses, as well as for active community gardeners from the wider Mother gardens and Birmingham food networks. It will be a chance for participants to give input into the shape of the future full programme of Cross-pollinator training to be held in the summer of 2025.

This course will help you to:
- Understand the purpose and value of the Cross Pollinator role
