Discover the joy of growing your own in this in-depth, two-day gardening workshop in London, covering much of the same ground as the original but with plenty more time to dig deeper.
One of our most popular workshops, Introduction to Gardening guides you through the approaches and essential knowledge that'll help you become a confident gardener. It's the session we recommend to anyone with little or no gardening experience, especially those hoping to start growing at home – whether that's in a house, on a balcony or out in the garden. Join us in our award-winning, sumptuously planted garden for this grounding in the fundamentals of sustainable, future-facing gardening. We also leave plenty of room for questions and welcome discussion in shaping the session as we go. You'll 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
With two full days to explore these fundamentals in more depth, you'll leave with a much stronger grasp of what it takes to garden well – along with the confidence to put it all into practice at home.
