Organic Food Growing for the Complete Beginner

This one day course allows participants to dip into all the relevant topics in the world of growing your own food: ground prep, compost, planting, pricking out, rotation etc.

It will cover the basics of gardening and is ideal for giving confidence and knowledge for enthusiastic amateurs. The days are hands-on and participants will learn by doing, gain basic theory and find out how to get started and what vegetables and culinary herbs are good for beginners to try.

Participants may choose to progress to The Complete Organic Garden after this lighter experience.
