Workshop Format:
You will be working on the farm in beds that you will be able to emulate at home. We will visit the nursery and understand the importance of timings, and being ahead of the coming cooler months and brush up on our nursery skills.

Ever had troubles getting your carrots to germinate? By the end of the day, we will have gone through all the steps from ground prep to sowing and you will know how to successfully grow carrots, rocket, radish and beets from direct seed sowing, what varieties work for our climate and when to sow.

Bring suitable boots, clothes and gloves. We will provide the tools and material required for the workshop.
