Enjoy a green fingered spring
Calling all Londoners! Spring has finally sprung and it’s time to embrace the outdoors with Capital Growth.
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.
