Polycultures for Spring and Summer

Unlock the secrets of working with plants to design abundant, low maintenance edible gardens.

From window box to market garden, you will learn how to design effortless planting schemes that nurture the soil, wildlife and people.

First, we will explore the secrets of polycultures by learning the underlying principles that create successful communities of plants, and how you can use those patterns when gardening.

After you will apply these principles in practice by looking at case studies and tackling design briefs to create polycultures that benefit plants, people, wildlife and the environment.

There will be time for you to ponder how you can harness this knowledge to gear into action with confidence in this upcoming growing season.
