Events and open days

At the Pierburg Education Garden, we host several events across the year linked in with our school activity.

These include the Festival of Farming, Family Science Day, career-themed enrichment days and public open days.

Pupils who stay in our Residential Centre can spend time in the Garden. We also offer gardening and cooking classes to students on our wellbeing programmes who are keen to develop a positive lifestyle.

Each July we host an open day that allows the public a rare glimpse into the teaching curriculum and the philosophy behind the Garden.

We run a monthly evening class known as Make it Monday where members of the public can come and learn a new skill or hobby. There are several offerings based in the Education Garden from practical gardening to craft-led activities.
