Seed Sowing for Success

What to Expect:

The principles of mindful gardening to help you calm your mind and body quickly including my FEEL framework

What tools and equipment to use to improve your results and save you time when sowing seeds in pots and in the ground.

How and when to mindfully sow different types of seeds to ensure the best results for you and your garden

The first hour of the workshop will include some practical learning and some demonstrations of techniques. The second hour will be for you to sow your seeds and we'll finish with a Q&A so you can ask all your gardening related questions.

What you'll get:

The pick of my seed collection, a mix of easy to grow cut flowers and vegetables to sow during the workshop. A seed tray full of your sown seeds ready to be grown on at home with all the necessary labels and growing medium. Packets of seeds to take home and sow yourself to continue your mindful gardening journey

All materials for the activity will be provided. You may wish to bring a bin liner or box to put your seed tray into after sowing so you don't get soil in the back of your car.

Benefits:

20 minutes of gardening 3 times a week increases wellbeing scores by 6% and reduces stress levels by 4%. This workshop will help you learn the skills and develop the confidence to sow seeds and begin to create a regular gardening habit as you grow a beautiful garden.
