Workshop: Container Growing for Food and Flavour
Gardening without a garden? Whether you have a balcony, porch, paved front garden, houseboat, windowsill or a shady side passage, growing your own food is more accessible than ever. This practical and inspiring introductory workshop explores how to cultivate delicious, nutrient-dense crops in containers, making the most of even the smallest spaces.
Container growing offers a flexible and productive way to reconnect with food, medicine and seasonal growing, while creating valuable habitat for pollinators and other wildlife. Through a combination of practical demonstrations and discussion, you'll learn how to design productive growing spaces that are beautiful, resilient and full of flavour.
Meet Vittor (they/them)
Vittor is a London-based artist and Garden Education Officer at Walworth Garden, where they work closely with students and the seasons to nurture both plants and community across the site. For the past two years, they have served as Plant Centre Supervisor and have recently stepped into the role of Garden Education Officer.
With a BA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths University and a Level 2 Work-Based Horticulture Diploma, Vittor moves fluidly between the garden and the studio, using colour and plant life to tell stories of transformation, memory, and belonging. Their work invites slowness, attention, and connection.
Vittor’s passion for gardening began in childhood, learning alongside their grandmother and mother. Growing plants together became a way to connect with the landscape and with one another, weaving care, memory, and tradition into each season. These early experiences nurtured a lasting appreciation for how gardens hold stories, strengthen relationships, and root us in place.
