Gardening: Starting from Scratch

---

Want to start your gardening journey but don’t know where to start? Come along to this beginner’s session, where you will start from the very basics for a solid foundation. There will be expert advice on soil care, tool maintenance, easy-to-grow plants, and other useful tips. There will also be an interactive demo on planting flowers from seed, with your own seeds to take home and kickstart your beds. 

Whether you have a large space, a small balcony, or are looking to grow flowers or vegetables, there will be something for you! 

Please note that this is the afternoon session.

Tutor: RHS Deirdre McShane from our very own Plant Advice Desk.
