1 Day Organic and No Dig Growing Course

Come and learn from our Head of Growth and her friendly, experienced team as we share our passion and knowledge about how to produce delicious food and beautiful flowers using organic, regenerative, no-dig farming methods.

We'll cover:

• No-dig methods for creating and maintaining food and flower beds
• How to care for the soil and build fertility
• How to decide what to grow 
• Seed propagation, transplanting and direct sowing, tending to your plants, harvesting and flower conditioning
• Crop rotation, composting and green manures
• Tools and horticultural materials you need
• Growing under cover in greenhouses/polytunnels

We spend the whole day outside on the farm, demonstrating a range of practical techniques in action. You'll have the opportunity to harvest different crops yourself to taste and take home.

We also tailor our course content depending on what participants would most like to learn, so there will be time dedicated to topics that you would find most useful.

The course takes place on our 2 acre farm in the London Borough of Greenwich, surrounded by ancient trees and thriving hedgerows. You'll learn together through the day and share a delicious lunch made using produce from the farm.

The day includes:

• a full day of tuition from 10am-3.30pm
• two-course lunch made using produce from the farm
• a bouquet of flowers and other goodies to take away

We offer a limited number of free and subsidised places on some of our courses for those on low incomes, e.g. receiving Universal Credit. Please go to our main course page for further details.
