Growing In Small Spaces
The polytunnel, Vine Road Recreation Ground, Vine Road, London, SW13 0NE
16 May 2026 | Accredited training
The reality of living in an urban area is that many of us do not have access to a large growing space. You might have a balcony, a few containers or even just a windowsill. You might be renting and need to create a garden you can easily dismantle and move. But you can grow something in almost any situation. In this workshop, we will look at tips for growing successfully in these spaces, what plants work well and how you can grow your own food even if you only have a windowsill!
