Beginners food growing - starting from the end of the season

Coming at the end of the season, this one day course gives you the basics of food growing, and the confidence and knowledge to plan your garden next year.

Topics covered include winter soil care and autumn ground preparation, making and using compost & why it's so important, which vegetables and herbs to plant, how to plant, pricking out, rotation etc.  The style is informal, allowing you to ask questions during the day.

You will gain basic theory, 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.

The course starts in the glasshouse at the OOOOBY Store in Glenealy at 10am, and later we will carpool up to Carraig Dúlra organic farm.

To help introduce new people to food growing, we are offering this course at a special price of €75 (most of our day-courses are normally €85-95).  This includes a light organic vegetarian lunch.
