Free beginner food growing session on soil health
Wednesday 24 May 2023 18:00 20:00
In the first of our new free beginner food growing sessions in partnership with The Royal Parks, we'll be exploring the soil: what type do you have, what makes it healthy, and how can we improve its fertility?
We're very pleased to announce an exciting new collaboration with our friends at The Royal Parks to launch a free beginner food growing session series taking place at Regent’s Park Allotment Garden.
First up in this series aimed at food growing beginners, we'll be diving into the world of soil health with Ruth Robinson. Join us on Wednesday 24 May from 6-8pm with Ruth for this interactive twilight session where we’ll explore different facets of our soil and what makes it healthy. Together, we’ll also look at how to tell what type of soil you have, whether it has nutrients and how supporting your soil life improves fertility – a key to growing healthy, fresh food successfully!
