Workshop: Introduction to Gardening

One of our most popular workshops, Introduction to Gardening guides you through the approaches and essential knowledge that will help you to become a successful gardener. This is the first session we recommend to all with little or no gardening experience, and especially those hoping to begin gardening at home in their houses, balconies, or gardens. Join us in our award-winning and sumptuously-planted garden for this primary insight into the fundamentals of sustainable and future-facing gardening. We also allow (and encourage!) plenty of time for questions, and welcome discussion in shaping the session. This session will cover:

  • Growing media, compost and soil

  • The basics of propagation

  • What to grow that's easy

  • Gardening with nature

  • Pruning

  • Pests and diseases - avoidance tactics that are kind to the ecosystem

  • Right plant, right place and aspect - considerations for planning

Please note that for those interested in learning to grow food, we have another course called ‘Introduction to Food Growing’.
