This course is a one day deep dive into planning for Self-sufficiency with regard to growing fruit, veg, herbs, eggs & mushrooms. Suitable for anyone who would like to become as self-sufficient with food growing as possible.
What that means to you will vary - from growing your year's worth of potatoes, to salad available year round, to not having to buy anything from the shops, how you define self-sufficiency is up to you, and we can help you get there.

This workshop is designed to give you a good overview of growing for self-sufficiency in the UK climate.
Many people we speak to want to move towards self-sufficiency and this needs detailed planning and knowledge of crop cycles and availability.
We offer support with designing your space and your crop selections as well as sowing plans and plant supply.
What does self-sufficiency look like to you? What are the first steps, how can you meet your needs by growing your own?
We will cover the following in detail:
Whether you have a balcony or 10acres, we can teach you how to make the most of your growing space year round.
This session is aimed at home growers, community gardens, schools and smallholders.
There will be a follow on workshop for site design if this is something which might help you.
