This is a new venture for the Moretonhampstead Learning Centre. Since there is great interest in gardening and allotments in Moretonhampstead we have decided to offer some specialist courses we hope are of interest to those who are both new and old hands at the subject! We are always interested in new courses so do tell us if there is a subject area you would like to see or even offer yourself! Please call 01647 440855 for more information.
