Growing from seed is the most rewarding and inexpensive way to fill your garden with flowers. In this interactive workshop, you will learn how to grow a flourishing flower garden from seed.

There will be opportunities to look at different types of seeds and seed-sowing kit, practice sowing techniques and ask questions. Dan will have a range of seeds, accessories and tools available to buy on the evening, so you can get sowing and growing straight away!

The workshop is suitable for complete novices (never sown a seed) and advanced beginners (can grow sunflowers, beans and cosmos, now ready to conquer the world!)
