The kitchen garden or potager has been a staple of working peoples’ gardens for centuries. The kitchen garden uses plants grown from seed and intensive growing techniques to produce salads, greens, vegetables, fruits, seeds, edible flowers and flowers for cutting. You can make a kitchen garden in a couple of window boxes, a balcony or patch outside your back door or your whole garden or allotment.
A kitchen garden can be made really cheaply. We’ll be growing everything from seed. When we sow seed there’ll be enough for you to take home a few seedlings to plant in your own space. Mostly we’ll be growing annuals but you’ll be able to collect seed after the first year. We aim to keep growing food plants through out the year.
We will be working on two dedicated Kitchen Garden beds one which will be grown for the public to come and pick their own and the other for you to grow and harvest its produce at the monthly workshops.
If you follow the steps we do each month in your garden you’ll have your own productive space providing food and flowers for next summer.
