The group will be small (maximum 5), relaxed & friendly so you'll have plenty of time to ask questions.
Tea/coffee & cake are included, just bring your own packed lunch. You'll take home a selection of seeds you'll have sown in the workshop plus more to try at home. This will get your Cutting Garden off to a flying start!
