Looking for a cost-effective way to grow your own fruit and vegetables? Dobbies, the UK’s leading garden centre, is hosting a free Grow How session in its Edinburgh store to help people prepare for bumper crops.
Taking place on Saturday 4 March at 10:30am, this interactive session has been carefully designed for gardeners of all skill levels, from beginners to experts. Dobbies’ horticultural experts will demonstrate the best way of growing bumper crops, focusing on tomatoes and hearty vegetables.
Participants in Edinburgh will learn how to identify and select the appropriate plant variety, as well as how to prepare them for sowing. They’ll also learn about the best time of year to plant fruit and vegetables, the correct tools to use, and how to nurture the plants from seedlings right the way through to the harvest.
Sarah Murray, Dobbies’ Partnership and Events Manager, said: “At Dobbies we are always looking for ways to inspire people to get into gardening.
“In addition to being beneficial for the environment, growing your own has been shown to improve physical wellbeing and mental health – and it’s a fantastic way to watch your food spend.
“Customers in Edinburgh are encouraged to stop by and attend this free workshop where they’ll learn how to plant and harvest delicious fresh produce.”
