Herb Planter Workshop with Grand Union

No matter how small a space you have, you can grow herbs, whether on balconies, in containers, in backyards, or from your window sill.

  • Booking essential

Grand Union’s Growing Project team will guide you in choosing the best herbs for your environment. You will be inspired to experiment with new varieties and bring new flavours to your kitchen. We will provide tips in planting combinations, what to grow it in and show you how to best look after your plants. You will also learn how to plan for successional herbs for all seasons including unusual varieties, gain tips for edible flowers and learn the best plants for herbal infusions. At the end of the workshop you will have made your own small herb planter to take home to enjoy.
