Grow Your Own: Grow Food, Save Money

Are you ready to grow your own food at home?

Whether you have a backyard, a balcony, or just a windowsill, this hands-on day will give you everything you need to start growing your own food at home using low-cost methods and everyday household items.

What you will learn

• How to choose and prepare the right container, from buckets and styrofoam boxes to tin cans and old tubs

• How to plant, water, and care for your plants

• How to harvest correctly so your plants keep producing

• How to build your household's food resilience, one pot at a time

What you will take home

Every participant will leave with plants they have potted themselves on the day.

This day has been designed from the ground up for people who have never grown anything before. Everything taught is beginner-friendly, low-cost, and achievable at home regardless of your living situation.
