As city residents, we often don’t have much space to grow food. Yet, it is possible to grow abundance in small gardens and even containers. We will look into the varieties of containers and growing spaces, the importance of soil, perennial plants, rotation and companion planting, to help making a small garden flourish all year round.

After a talk and some refreshments, we will visit the Alibi garden and run some planting activities.

Suggested donation £10-£20 .

This will help us cover the costs of the workshop delivery and make ou work more sustainable.
