An introductory session to help you on your way to growing your own organic vegetables.
Whether you are a seasoned gardener or a complete beginner, this workshop is packed full of easy pro-tips to help you make the most of your time and space to grow as much healthy fruit and veg as possible. From growing in containers, making a no-dig bed, making compost, sowing seeds, pricking out and when to plant stuff, this two hour workshop has you covered.
The price includes a hot drink on arrival and a delicious vegetable soup and home baked stottie afterwards at this award winning Michelin Green Starred restaurant on the moors.
