Low-Maintenance Fruit & Vegetable Growing
with the London School of Horticulture
Saturday 22nd April 2023 (10am - 1pm)
Rosendale Allotments Community Building, 227 Rosendale Rd, SE21 8LP
Wherever you are growing your fruit and vegetables, whether that's in your garden or vegetable plot, or in containers on your balcony, there's always a lot to do for the the urban food grower.
This practical workshop will start by looking at some general food-growing basics with an emphasis on 'low-maintenance' food growing. Students will then be taken through some seasonal practical tasks. We'll also look at how to compost and make your own growing mediums, and at how to use renewable, recyclable resources and organic practices. If weather and time allow there will also be a tour of a low-maintenance allotment plot and we'll discuss some of the traditional and less-traditional methods people use when growing fruit and vegetables.
We'll be doing lots of practical tasks ... bring gloves and a strong shopping bag to take your pots home with you!
