This workshop will give you the skills to start planning and setting up a productive kitchen garden, avoiding commonly made mistakes.

It will include the following topics:

• The location and layout of your veggie patch
• Making raised beds
• Composting and soil fertility
• Pest and disease control
• Herbs and fruit production
• Seed Saving
• planting for the winter

We will also be sowing some vegetables which are suitable for over-wintering to give you a head start in the spring.

In the productive vegetable patch here at Green Road Gardens, we will show you how to get your garden ready for winter and set up for next spring. This day is aimed at those of you who need a kick start at getting your kitchen garden up and running and also for those with some experience but looking wanting to up your game! There will be plenty of hands-on learning and lots of opportunity for question

The class runs from 10am to 5pm on Sunday 17th Sept. Price includes tea/coffee on arrival and  home-cooked lunch and some plants to take home.
