About Intro To Grow Your Own Veg

Listed Under Gardening Events / Learning Events / Workshops Events

Tom will guide you through the essentials of vegetable growing, including planning how to use your space, choosing the right soil and containers, mapping out your growing calendar, and caring for and maintaining your edible garden.

Whatever space you have available, whether it's your own allotment or croft plot, a shared garden, a balcony or even windowsill, you will leave with skills to identify suitable plants to grow and the confidence to get started on your growing journey.

While the session is suitable for beginners, growers of all abilities will benefit from the tips and advice, and the chance to meet other keen gardeners from the local community.

Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
