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.

Where Liberatory Gardens & Farming Meet at Oxford Farming Real Conference

Where Liberatory Gardens & Farming Meet at Oxford Farming Real Conference

Where Liberatory Gardens and Farming Meet at Oxford Real Farming Conference for soft space for dreaming, where we’ll explore what it means to work towards liberation through tending the land.

Recovering a more reciprocal relationship to the land through farming and gardening can be nourishing on many levels. But what is needed to make all experiences working the land a liberatory act? Can flowers liberate as much as food? 

This session is inspired by new farms and growing projects emerging from urban centres, which take an inclusive, intersectional approach, prioritising meeting each other’s needs, alongside the needs of plants and the land. This session is a dreaming space for what liberation on the land looks like and how we can get there.
