Explore how the life beneath our feet supports plant nutrition, natural defences and the quality of the food we grow.Discover the relationships between soil organisms, roots, mineral nutrition and photosynthesis — and how these can support nutrient-dense crops with greater resilience to pests and disease.Through practical observation and discussion, learn how compost, living roots, diverse planting and careful soil management can support these relationships.Leave with a clearer understanding of how to build fertility and help your plants thrive.
PLAN YOUR GROWING SPACE
A practical planning workshop for your garden or allotment
Turn your growing ideas into a manageable plan for the season ahead.
This three-hour workshop will help you decide what to grow, where to grow it and when to get started. We’ll work through simple examples, with time to apply the ideas to your own garden, allotment or a smaller area within it.
FARMING WITH TREES
An introduction to agroforestry and syntropic design
Discover how trees, crops and support species can work together to create productive ecological landscapes.
This one-day course explores why integrating trees into food production matters, how these systems function and what it takes to design and establish them. Through classroom learning, a farm visit and a guided design exercise, you’ll connect ecological principles with practical decisions on the ground.
