About this Event

Are you new to vegetable gardening or have you ever said? "Anything I grow always dies or gets eaten by pests!' If YES! then this is the course for you.

This being March, the second month in the Food Gardening 4 All sessions we will be covering:

Growing in small spaces, what's the best compost, F1 and hybrid seeds, multi sown vegetables, choosing potato varieties and lots more. You'll also get a chance to sow some seeds to take home.

***************************

Materials, handouts and free tea and bickies supplied.

"I've really enjoyed all of the sessions, I've learnt so much and I hope there'll be more!" Linda 2025

"I've thoroughly enjoyed the FG4A seed growing course, full of useful tips." Claire 2025

Food gardening 4 all

FG4A is a fledgling community group based in East Sheen, London, UK, that hopes to encourage aspiring or beginner food gardeners to gain confidence and build their knowledge in growing their own produce.

Christine Chatfield who organises FG4A is a retired teacher who started growing vegetables in her teens and 20’s. After a break to have her children, she now grows her own fruit and veg on her allotment that she has had for over 15 years. Last year she grew nearly 300 kilos of fruit and veg on her 123 sq. metre plot all on organic and no-dig principles.


“Today, in a time of great uncertainty, I feel that learning how to grow our own food is a skill we should all try and achieve.”

Christine
