Learn about urban food growing and running community gardens with hands-on sessions in gardens across London.

The spring/summer training sessions continue up until the end of June and are covering four key themes:

  • Urban food growing: Starting from the basics to get it right
  • Growing enterprise: Focussing on enterprising ideas and selling produce
  • Get children growing: Engaging children and young people outdoors
  • Grow for it! Learn something new or unusual

Whether you’d like to hone your knowledge of wild edibles on a guided foraging walk, find out how to keep pests at bay with companion planting or learn about social and therapeutic horticulture, Capital Growth has a class for you.

Each 2-3 hour class is just £15 for Capital Growth members and London Food Link supporters, and £30 for eveyone else.
