Open Saturdays
Gathering with cloth, we stitch new worlds into being. Join us in the garden to make a community banner for Earth Tenders – no sewing experience needed. We draw on rich traditions of community banner and quilt making, finding power and solace in the collective art of making. We will walk the garden together, to gain inspiration from the bountiful colours and textures of the land and its harvest. We will create patches capturing the beauty of our plant and animal kin, to sew on to the banner.
This banner is our love letter to the garden.
For this session, we will be led by Yuna.
Yuna researches and creates around a constellation of subjects spanning climate change, ecological justice, intergenerational movements and time travelling imaginaries. Exploring through words, cloth and collective making.
Come as you are, all materials provided!
You can reserve a free space for the session here.

Open Saturday
Back for another Open Saturday!
Cooking with Spices: As Medicine + Decolonisation with Marianna Farag
Spices carry wisdom—of flavour, survival, tradition, and medicine. In the kitchen, they serve as both flavour and function, something many ancestral food cultures have always understood. And despite centuries of colonial influence, this knowledge persists—each richly spiced dish a continuation of inherited wisdom and cultural depth, but also an unapologetic quiet resistance.
Join us at Earth Tenders for a vibrant one-day Food Curious session where we’ll cook intuitively with whatever the garden offers and explore the rich knowledge that communities shaped by colonial histories have long held around spices and food. Through bold ingredients and open conversation, we’ll reflect on how spice reminds us of that cultural wealth—and how much of that wisdom still lives on, hundreds of years later.
Spaces will go live to reserve for free on Monday 14th July at 6pm.
