Garden consultation

We are a team of experienced gardeners and growers. One of us will visit your space and give you pointers to help advance towards a more thriving garden, following ecological principles.

We will suggest ways to take on the design and planning for yourself and talk through which edible and useful plants might fit in your space.

From £60 an hour plus travel costs. Contact us to discuss possibilities and availability.

Courses

We try to make education accessible. In course description pages we make clear the situation of the venue – often in a garden.

Courses are usually priced on a sliding scale – we don’t assess your financial situation, it’s simply for you to decide how much you can pay for the course. If cost is a barrier to your participation please email to enquire about bursary places.
