Week 1: Groundwork
We prepare the space by pruning, weeding, and clearing. This is an essential step for the workshops. Students can participate for hands-on experience (optional but recommended).
Week 2: Preparing the garden with no-dig beds and planters
Students will build a raised planter matching existing structures. They will create 2-4 ‘no-dig’ beds or raised planters, and learn about soil regeneration, its impact on climate, food quality and community health.

Week 3: Sowing and potting
Students will sow a variety of seeds using trays, modules, and pots. Learn watering, seed care, and how nurturing plants supports human wellbeing and our environment.
Week 4: Planting and pruning
Students will plant vegetables and herbs, learning the care needed for each. They will understand composting, soil health, watering, spacing, and maintaining a garden. ​
Week 5: Composting and Wormeries
Students will learn how to turn garden waste into nutrient-rich compost. Create a wormery using brought material, to reduce food waste while producing natural fertilisers. Learn how to create, maintain, and utilise their own wormeries at home.​
