Join me on my introduction to growing food course. You’ll spend the day immersed in our garden, learning how to create a beautiful and productive vegetable garden. The day is hands on, with opportunities to practice seed sowing and taking cuttings which you will take home with you. You’ll also be given a seasonal veg box to take home, and pots with seeds sown & cuttings taken on the course. Expect to leave bursting with inspiration, knowledge and enthusiasm!
On this course you’ll learn everything you need to start growing your own food. We’ll start with a tour of the smallholding. You’ll see the orchard & chickens, the ducks and their famous hobbit house, the coppice, willow beds, the bees, and, of course, the vegetable gardens and greenhouses. There’s a free time session just before lunch is served to give you time to explore the gardens and absorb at your own pace. We’ll cover topics like how we created our vegetable gardens, how I plan the veg patch to achieve self-sufficiency, sowing seeds, raising plants, composting and nature friendly gardening. You will learn how to garden organically by working in harmony with nature, and there will be some practical activities along the way such as seed sowing and taking cuttings. Spaces are limited to 8 per day, which I find is a small enough number to make sure everyone gets the most out of the day.
Lunch will be provided - delicious treats from the garden.
Course attendees will be given free copies of my planting plan and Growing Food eBook, to equip you with the resources you need to get growing.
I really look forward to welcoming you to Happy Smallholding!
Courses run from 10am-4pm.
Course location: Somerset, UK, near Bridgwater. Address will be shared on booking.
