Introduction to Growing Urban Veggies

Learn how to grow your own veg

  • Booking essential

Growing your own vegetables is one of the most rewarding ways to connect with nature, boost your wellbeing and support biodiversity, all while filling your table with fresh, homegrown produce. During this hands-on workshop the Plant gardening team will share their knowledge of how to maximise limited space and what grows best in our unique, urban environment. From choosing the right seed, to natural pest control, you'll leave the workshop feeling confident to get growing no matter what size of space you have.
