Workshop: veg growing for beginners

In this two-hour workshop we will equip you to get started growing vegetables. We will outline how to choose and prepare your growing area and how to set up your own home-composting system. We will give tips on germinating seeds, multi-sowing, planting out, watering and pest control. You will leave the workshop with introductory knowledge of permaculture and the no-dig techniques of Charles Dowding. And most importantly, the encouragement you needed to get started!

Cost: £35 per person. Book in person at the farm or online on eventbrite.
