COMPANION PLANTING 

This workshop and the 101 have been the two most popular workshops, year after year.

INTER-CROPPING/FRENCH INTENSIVE GARDENING

With the prices of veggies and fresh produce expected to go up hugely in cost this year, is crucial to get the biggest bang from your garden.

Learn about inter-cropping and intensive gardening to get the maximum amount of food/crops from your garden space, no matter how small! How to achieve larger yields from small plots.

Workshops are held in the wee Garden Shop or in the greenhouse, depending on what we are doing. They are kept at small groups to keep them both fun and informative. You will leave here with all your questions answered, feeling confident in your newly learned knowledge.
