Tired of turnips? Bored of broad beans? There are many reasons to diversify what you are growing such as preparing for a more unpredictable climate or finding out about different cultures but most of all it’s a lot of fun!
In this workshop we will introduce you to foods from a wide range of cultures with tips on how to grow them including dudi (gourds), lemongrass, tarro, calalloo and turmeric. We will also take some herb cuttings.
There will be plenty of practical work so that you have a plant to take home, and we will also make dudhi halva so that you have something tasty to try.
About Garden Organic
Garden Organic is the national charity for organic growing. We have been around since 1958 and have over 20 000 members. Our goal is simple – to get people growing organically. We do this in lots of ways:
• Working with communities providing them with support in their growing
• Providing horticultural advice to gardeners
• Campaigning on topical issues such as the use of peat or pesticides
• Preserving traditional and heirloom varieties in our Heritage Seed Library
• Researching into organic gardening techniques
We also have an organic demonstration garden at Ryton on Dunsmore just outside Coventry, where you can book onto to tours and workshops. For further information visit: www.gardenorganic.org.uk
The workshop is free and funded through the National Lottery Community Fund.
