Practical gardening courses for ordinary spaces, taught in small groups on our walled plot. A little soil, a bit of curiosity, and the confidence to give it a go.

The next few dates
Starting soon
From “I can’t” to “look what grew.”
Ten courses through the year, from a first growing bed to a hedge-laying weekend. These three are the next to run.
How it works
Three steps to muddy boots.

Turn up in boots
We provide the tools, gloves, seeds, compost and tea. You bring a packed lunch and whatever questions you have been saving up.
Your space has potential
A windowsill counts. So does a bucket.
Our bed planner works out how many plants will comfortably fit in your bed, draws them to scale and points you to the course that teaches that crop, before you buy a single seed.

Good company. Better compost.
Three tutors, each with years of growing behind them, and a pot of tea that never seems to run out. We leave room for every question, and build in breaks and places to sit.
Come and see the plot
Two acres behind an old brick wall, ten minutes’ walk from Pershore Abbey.
Level paths, raised beds, a heated barn and a proper toilet. Visits outside course days are by appointment; ring the office and we will put the kettle on.
