School of Green Living

School of Green Living

Northfield Ecocentre are pleased to announce the launch of the Northfield School of Green Living, a series of courses aimed at making sustainable living easier and fun!

Aimed at beginners, the workshops cover a range of skills from cycle maintenance to wild food forgaing and more. These practical courses, run by experienced professionals,  will enable you to pick up skills that you can use again and again, to make, maintain, re-use and mend in clever and, more often than not, money saving ways. You’ll go away from each course with an abundance of ideas, advice and handy tips to inspire and de-mystify what it means to be more green.

Our ever expanding programme will include courses in gardening, food, sewing and crafts, transport and home energy. So, watch this space for new courses. Plus, if you can think of a green course you would like us to put on, just let us know!

Check out our new courses!
