Learn to Propagate Garden Plants - the most cost-effective way to a beautiful garden!
with the London School of Horticulture
Saturday 11th May 2024 (10.30am - 1.30pm)
Rosendale Allotments Community Building, 227 Rosendale Rd, SE21 8LP

Our practical propagation workshop for beginners led by our expert Chris Qual will show you the tips, tricks and techniques required to fill your garden with colour and fragrance through the year.
You will be provided with seeds and cuttings which you will be able to sow or plant in class and take home with you to put in your garden or containers.
Workshop held on Saturday morning in our Rosendale Allotments classroom.
Bring gloves and a strong shopping bag to take your pots home with you.

2.6 billion people are inhabitants of former British colonies. The empire’s influence upon the quarter of the planet it occupied, and its gravitational influence upon the world outside it, has been profound: from the spread of Christianity by missionaries to nearly 1 in 3 driving on the left side of the road, and even shaping the origins of international law. Yet Britain’s idea of its imperial history and the world’s experience of it are two very different things.
In Empireworld, award-winning author and journalist, Sathnam Sanghera extends his examination of British imperial legacies beyond Britain. Travelling the globe to trace its international legacies – from Barbados and Mauritius to India and Nigeria and beyond – Sanghera demonstrates just how deeply British imperialism is baked into our world. And why it’s time Britain was finally honest with itself about empire.
‘A remarkable and important work – one that is finely judged, beautifully written and not just a welcome corrective but a book for our times. This is essential reading. – Peter Frankopan
