Learn how to grow your own food year round on this day course at the beautiful Hafod Estate in Ceredigion, on August 3rd 2025. 10am to 4pm
August is a key time for sowing many food crops which will provide harvests throughout the winter and into the following spring. On this course I’ll explain how to grow a productive, flourishing food garden which produces food year round, using organic, wildlife friendly and permaculture methods.
The day includes:
sowing schedules and planning
planting timings
picking for longer harvests
crop protection (including how to make your own)

green manures
and more!
