Led by Chris Huskins, Head Grower and Farm Manager, this course is ideal for anyone looking to create thriving gardens, farms, or landscapes that work in harmony with nature.
On The Day
The day begins with a welcome drink and a chance to meet your fellow growers before Chris and the Hampshire Market Garden team take you into the world of permaculture.
From there the day unfolds through a series of hands-on sessions, a tour, and open discussions, working practically together on the farm and drawing directly from the methods we use every day at Hampshire Market Garden.
Lunch is included midway through, giving everyone a chance to sit together, share ideas and ask questions in a relaxed setting. By the time 4pm comes around you'll leave with a genuinely different understanding of what healthy soil looks like, and exactly what to do when you get home.
What You'll Learn
Through a mix of theory, discussion, and hands-on activities, you’ll discover:
- The ethics and principles of permaculture.
- How to observe and work with natural systems.
- Practical techniques for designing sustainable growing spaces.
- Real-world examples of permaculture in action.
