Join us for a workshop on growing your own herbs in urban spaces.
If you want to improve your knowledge and gain confidence to start growing herbs, this is the class for you! We will give you an overview of growing herbs in different urban conditions (pots, windowsills, balconies, raised beds etc.) covering plant life cycles, propagation methods, soil types and plant care. Through the workshop we will also touch on some of the uses and properties of herbs. During the session, you will have the opportunity to plant some herb seeds to take home.
