Introduction to Kitchen Gardening

25 April @ 2:00 pm - 4:30 pm
£20.00 – £25.00

Get the most out of your veg garden!

Not only will you learn how to grow veg for delicious year-round harvest, but you'll also get to learn practical methods for how to get the very best from your veg plants. Learn from a gardener with decades of experience in growing vegetables: SFTG's Jenny Huggett, who many of you will know from our regular Friday evening meetings, open farm days and annual picnics.

Although she wouldn’t tell you so herself, the chances are that if Jenny doesn’t know the answer to a question, then it probably doesn’t have an answer.

In this course, you’ll learn about such topics as:

  • What to plant for year-round fresh or stored vegetables, and when to plant it
  • Which vegetable varieties to grow, including what works well in this area (and what doesn’t!)
  • Caring for your vegetable plants
  • Feeding the soil so as to get the most from it
  • The benefits of no-dig gardening
  • How best to avoid pests without chemicals
  • Companion planting – which plants will help each other, and which will hinder?
  • Seed saving

Tea, coffee and homemade cake will be served afterwards, giving the group time to talk and ask questions.

Special offer: A free vegetable plant for every attendee to take home and nurture!
