Eaton Barn has moved!
After many happy years at Eaton Barn, we have had to move our horticulture activities to a new site. Our horticulture activities are now running from it’s sister project Studio Mirai. It was hard to leave but we are excited about the new opportunities that we will have at the new location.
We moved because the owner of the site has decided to sell it.
Thank you!
Thank you to all the participants, staff, volunteers and community support that made it such an amazing project.

What would I get from attending?
You would learn new skills and get to work in a team. You’ll also get to keep fit and healthy working outdoors and learning about growing and eating good healthy foods. The site is also open to the public so you’ll also get to help customers and visitors.
You will learn:
- How individual plants grow and how to care for each plant from sowing the seed to harvesting the final product
- Learn how to work safely
- Work on a variety of indoor and outdoor seasonal activities
