In May 2020, SF&G launched a series of online webinars designed to help members tackle the most pressing concerns arising from the pandemic, and to share best practice and inspiration from around the country. Themes were based on what members told us were the most immediate and challenging issues though our COVID -19 survey.

These COVID 19 specific webinars have now finished, however we are now running free Monthly Social Farms & Gardens webinars for members on a variety of issues and topics.
