Free beginner food growing session on soil health

We're very pleased to announce an exciting new collaboration with our friends at The Royal Parks to launch a free beginner food growing session series taking place at Regent’s Park Allotment Garden.

First up in this series aimed at food growing beginners, we'll be diving into the world of soil health with Ruth Robinson. Join us on Wednesday 24 May from 6-8pm with Ruth for this interactive twilight session where we’ll explore different facets of our soil and what makes it healthy. Together, we’ll also look at how to tell what type of soil you have, whether it has nutrients and how supporting your soil life improves fertility – a key to growing healthy, fresh food successfully!

Trainer bio
Ruth is passionate about helping people interact with nature in a helpful way and encouraging people to grow their own food. She's a Permaculture Diploma holder and community gardener who has been learning over the years how vital healthy soil is to our food supply and our future.

This event is free with access to toilets and sheltered indoor space if needed. Tea, coffee and biscuits will also be offered to attendees during the session break.
