Announcing the launch of the autumn edition of our Sustainable Growing Online Course for Beginners, which is now on sale, and starts Monday, 24 August. 👩‍🌾 Book your place here: https://bit.ly/30N5ZPy A three month standalone course, designed and led by our Head Gardener, Colum Pawson, you will receive a full introduction to the key elements of growing your own food at home. All sessions will be informed by the sustainable principles of growing that the College is committed to, allowing you to produce food while also enriching you garden or outdoor space for wildlife and nourishing the soil in a way that offers an abundance of food in the long term. Here's a testimonial from an attendee of our first online growing course: "This is my first year ever of vegetable growing and I have been totally amazed by what I have achieved. This course has definitely taught me so much in such a short period of time and even friends and family are asking me questions about their own veg growing. So the influence goes even further than the members of the course." Our first Sustainable Growing course sold out very quickly so if this course is for you, make sure you book yourself in while you can! The course starts 24 August, and we are operating a first come served basis. Join us! #sustainableliving #sustainable #growing #vegetablegarden #vegetablegardening #dartington #schumachercollege ...

Now booking: www.dartington.org/whats-on/open-air-cinema/ Cinema is back with a breeze at Dartington this summer.. Over the next 3 weeks, we are blowing the Barn doors off and taking Dartington’s big screen into the great outdoors with a programme of 17 classic, independent and feel-good films. Bring a rug or folding chair and settle into a spacious spot in the unique setting of the Private Garden... We kick off the season with three fine flicks this weekend: the multi-award winning Parasite (B&W Edition), transferred by director Bong Joon Ho into glorious monochrome; Summerland, the feature debut from Olivier-winning playwright, Jessica Swale; and Bait, the hugely acclaimed, gritty tale of a fisherman struggling to cope in a Cornish town under threat. For tickets, times and other details, head to the website (with more films being confirmed all the time so please do continue to check back for the latest) - www.dartington.org/whats-on/open-air-cinema Come early with a healthy appetite for weekend screenings! Friday to Sunday, Tara and the Green Table team will be taking over the White Hart kitchen to bring you an ever-changing menu of superlative sit-down suppers sourced from sustainably and ethically grounded suppliers. No advance bookings - arrive early to grab a table outside on The Great Lawn (service 5 - 9pm). Snacks and a wide range of local and organic tipples from the White Hart bar will be available for every screening. As a last note, many thanks to all of you for the amazing support and encouragement you have shown Barn Cinema and Dartington Trust over the past few months. We hope you can come along and immerse yourself in the Open Air Cinema experience - some much needed respite in these crazy times! #outdoorcinema #openaircinema #totnes #dartington #devon ...
