Hi @miraclefish
You just missed a Vertical Veg course unfortunately would have been right up your street I suspect. Mark from VV is moving out of London soon but we’re going to get him back down in the not too distant future (possibly a day or weekend course). I’ll have a think about other options.”

Capital Growth fund them but Growing Communities is a local social enterprise of its own running an organic veg scheme and the Stokey Farmer’s Market and generally doing interesting food related things in Hackney.
As it happens I was just contacted today by someone called Sarah Bentley about an \up and coming Organic Gardening Workshop I am holding on Aug 6th 11am-4pm in E8. It’s £25 for the day including a home cooked organic lunch.”
