Summer courses and events
OPEN DAYS IN ASSOCIATION WITH GARDEN ORGANIC
The garden will be open from 10-5 pm on Thursday 17th to Saturday 19th June.
There will be an opportunity to look around the garden and workshop, ask questions, buy plants, browse the gift shop and view our courses. Entry is free, but we welcome donations to Garden Organic., the country’s leading organic gardening charity. There will be a display by the Wilts and Berks canal trust and refreshments will be available.
GARDENING COURSES
Courses are run at our garden in Longworth, a half acre kitchen garden with long established no-dig deep beds as well as new areas being developed. They are run in half day modules covering a wide range of subjects, and each module contains both theory and practical sessions. Although we are low-input organic gardeners our courses are suitable for anyone wishing to grow their own fruit and vegetables, whether in containers, small spaces, garden or an allotment and are suitable for both novice and experienced gardeners.
Each module costs £25.00, with a discount of £10.00 if you book three or more modules at the same time during June and July. Morning modules are from 9.30-12.30, afternoon from 1.30-4.30 and evenings from 6-9 pm. A non-returnable deposit of £15.00 will be taken by cheque, cash or debit card on booking.
Choose one or more half day modules, contact us with your preferred date and subject and as many alternatives as possible, either by email to robert@theogp.org or phone 01865 820206. Full details on the web site, www.theogp.org
