A series of three hands on workshops giving you the skills to start growing your own food! All workshops are lead by our Community and Outdoor Inititives Officer, Holly, who runs the Meadow Street Community Garden and Woodland project. These workshops are suitable for complete beginners wanting to start growing food using environmentally conscious methods.
Sunday 22nd March: preparing a growing area using the no-dig method, starting your first seeds, and caring for young plants
Sunday 21st June: the basics of composting, nature friendly pest management, and how to care for your plants in hot weather
Sunday 20th September: hardy food plants, protecting plants from frost, and making the most of your harvest
All three workshops begin at 11:00am and end at 2:30pm with a break in the middle.
