Agenda
🕑: 10:00 AM
What is nutritional density — and why does it matter?
Info: An accessible introduction to the concept of nutrient-dense food: the difference between calories and nutrition, how modern food systems have changed what's on our plates and why growing your own is one of the most powerful things you can do for your health.
🕑: 10:45 AM
Soil health & nutrient availability
Info: The connection between soil quality and the nutritional value of what grows in it. How composting, cover crops, and regenerative practices build mineral-rich soil — and how that translates into more nutritious food on your table.
🕑: 11:30 AM
Growing for nutrition: a tour of our most nutrient-dense crops
Info: A guided walk through our growing beds with a focus on the most nutritionally valuable crops we grow — kale, chard, beans, herbs, brassicas, and more. Learn what to prioritise growing for maximum health benefit and see them at their summer best.
🕑: 01:00 AM
Refreshments & free exploration
Info: Bring your own lunch or grab something locally. Browse the Potting Shed, pick up seasonal plug plants, and chat informally with Hannah and the Project Grow team
