Tim Foster's Organic gardening course

We run an annual organic and allotment gardening course, starting each February, for those who want to learn how to grow their own fruit and vegetables. Horticulture teacher and author Tim Foster shares his knowledge and skills, from pruning to sowing, pests to composting, rotations to companion planting and much more.

This course is now in its 17th year – the best of its kind in Bristol – with a great a mixture of theory and practical. It runs over 16 Wednesday evenings at the Farm (6.30-8.30pm) plus 9 Saturday mornings on the local allotments (9-11am) from February to June.

The 25 sessions cost just £200.

Every year this course is sold out, so email us now on [icon name="envelope" class="" unprefixed_class=""] office@swcityfarm.co.uk to put your name on the waiting list for 2018.
