About the event

This is a partnership event between “Happy_Smallholding” and Somerset Wildlife Trust. Jess Gough @happy_smallholding is a Somerset based smallholder who grows in harmony with nature. 

The course will be an introduction to growing food, from setting up your space to sowing seeds & looking after your plants right through to harvest. You will learn how to garden organically by working in harmony with nature, and you'll learn practical skills such as making compost & making a new vegetable bed.
