Learn how to get your garden ready for winter with gardener-in-residence Lindy Young.
In this practical workshop we will be cutting plants back where needed, collecting available seeds and considering crops for over-wintering. We will also be mulching, topping up ‘lasagna’ beds and maybe even creating a couple more ‘Heugal Heaps’, as part of the no-dig approach we've been following in the Brander Garden – low maintenance, good for nature and for soil health.
All are welcome to drop by for a sociable, informal learning session! Warm clothes recommended, tools and refreshments provided.
About the project:
This workshop forms part of our project Caretakers' Garden. Named after the former residents of the caretaker's flat at the Brander Building (now the Deveron Projects office!), Caretakers' Garden will build sustainable systems of care in the Brander and Square Deal gardens, for the benefit of current and future inhabitants. As a starting point, we are asking, what is our role in caring for these gardens in the present and into uncertain futures? How do we build the means for communities (human and more-than-human) to enjoy the gardens and care for each other in?
Together we will work to create a learning space for novice and seasoned gardeners – a space for exploration, experimentation and exchange. Regular workshops, drop-in sessions and artists' projects will open the gardens up, inviting new 'caretakers' to come along and learn, help take care and be cared for.
