About this session
Growing food is one of the simplest ways to reconnect with where food comes from, and you do not need a garden to start.
In this hands-on workshop, participants plant something edible themselves, such as herbs or salad leaves, and learn the essentials of container growing, light, watering, care and harvesting.
Everyone takes their planted project home with a simple care plan.
