Growing our own salad and herbs in a small space gives us the biggest reward for our time and effort in the garden. By focussing on what is best fresh and what costs the most to buy, we get the satisfaction of eating homegrown every day. Small can mean selective, succulent and successful. There’s lots to learn and lots to like about gardening this way. Starting small, growing close to your kitchen, watering easily, choosing herbs and leaves we like, do I start with seeds or seedlings?
Please arrive at the centre 15 minutes before the start to allow yourself time to park and get settled in. Please enter through the front entrance on Karamu Road and sign in at reception. We’ll start on time so if you arrive late and the door is locked, please ring the bell.
An hour of inspiration to get your garden growing. Although this session is free thanks to sponsorship from Hastings District Council, please register via Eventfinda to secure your place, but only if you are definitely going to attend. Numbers are limited, no door sales.
