Creating your own vegetable garden at home is a wonderful way to support sustainability, but getting started can often be a bit daunting. Join us for a beginner's guide to vegetable gardens where our Head Gardener, Tony Wiseman, will walk you through everything from sowing, pests, soil quality and harvesting. Whether you're looking at creating a range of raised beds in your garden, or planting a few pots on your balcony, there will be a selection of vegetables that are ideal for you. At the end of this workshop you'll take home a propagation box with a selection of potted vegetables for your own gardens, as well as some seeds to help you continue your vegetable beds, a guidebook, and a 50% off coupon any one plant in our Plant Centre.

During this workshop, you'll visit our greenhouses and the Garden's Yard to see how we manage our own vegetable stocks, before getting involved with sowing some seeds yourself, and heading out to the Gardens to see how we move our tray-grown produce, into the beds and borders. Practical, waterproof clothes are a must as you will be outside for a good deal of this workshop which combines learning with a practical approach. Along with your selection of vegetables, you'll also leave with an advice guide about general care, and a crop planner to help you schedule when you plant more vegetables throughout the year. Tickets also include access to our house and formal gardens. 

Don't miss out on this chance to learn from experts in one of England's most beautiful gardens. So come join us for an afternoon filled with learning, fun, and fresh produce!
