Description

Feel that you are missing out on growing your own veggies and herbs due to lack of space? By using containers, pots and vertical space you can transform a balcony, courtyard, patio or windowsill into a hugely productive garden.

In this hands on workshop you will learn how to maximise your small space to create an abundant oasis of food, herbs and ornamentals.
