The day also includes a delicious homemade lunch in the main house, using fresh local ingredients and we will raise a glass of bubbles to a day well spent cultivating new skills together.
In addition to gaining valuable knowledge and confidence, you’ll leave with a tray of vegetable seeds to kickstart your own garden, as well as presentation notes to support your learning at home.
