Are you looking to turn your library spaces greener? Want to make the most of your indoor spaces?​

Join us for this webinar with Chris Collins from Garden Organic, a charity that promotes organic gardening and composting, citizen science and seed conservation through their Heritage Seed Library. Chris will demonstrate how productive and biodiverse a garden can be - regardless of its size. Big ideas can turn any location into a space for organic growing and a creative approach opens up a wealth of growing opportunities both indoors and outside.​

Gaps in paving can be used to grow herbs such as thyme. Wall crevices can be planted with ferns, and sedums will love a shed roof. Utilising vertical growing spaces with hanging planters, guttering or climbers will not only provide you with more growing space, but lead the eye skyward, soften and disguise boundaries, and create the illusion of space.​

As well as providing a tasty harvest of food crops for you, your small growing spaces can create valuable micro-climates and havens for wildlife, creating corridors of beneficial biodiversity across built-up areas. Chris will share practical advice and tips on how to make the most of even the smallest spaces, how to get started and how grow and nurture your indoor plants.
