Small Space Gardening

This inspiring session explores simple, affordable, and sustainable gardening techniques that make the most of small or unconventional spaces. Participants will learn how to overcome common barriers to growing food and gain confidence to start their own productive garden, no matter where they live. A highlight of the workshop is a live demonstration showing how to build a lightweight, portable wicking bed using recycled polystyrene (styrofoam) boxes. The completed wicking bed will be given away as a door prize at the end of the session. Participants will: • Learn how to grow food in small and unconventional spaces • Explore options for balconies, courtyards, rooftops, verges and shared gardens • Discover ways to create habitat for local wildlife • Understand the benefits of community gardens and shared growing spaces • Watch a live demonstration of a DIY lightweight wicking bed • Gain practical tips for successful low-maintenance food production Please be advised that any personal details you have provided will be collected to assist with your request and for administrative purposes.
