You will leave the workshop with three ferments to take home and the confidence to ferment seasonally in your kitchen.
If you can bring three large (c.500ml) clean, recycled jars with you, please do. If not, we have kilner jars we can supply at cost and some recycled jars for free.
Half of the workshop proceeds will go to the Greenhouses to support our work and the other half towards fundraising for Jelena’s nephew Jude’s operation to help him learn how to walk. You can read about little Jude and cerebral palsy here.
There is 1 remaining free ticket on this workshop for BPCG volunteers. Please contact Kate on director@brockwellgreenhouses.org.uk if you would like one of these!
