Why Attend “Gardening for the Planet”?

Learn how to improve soil health, which Richard passionately emphasises, as the foundation for a thriving garden. He will teach you techniques and methods that regenerate the soil and enhance its carbon-sequestering capacity. - Help Tackle Climate Change:
Discover how you can contribute to reducing carbon emissions and fostering sustainability through your gardening practices. By improving your soil health and reducing the need for artificial inputs, your garden becomes an eco-friendly powerhouse. - Boost Biodiversity:

Share your passion for sustainability with a community of like-minded gardeners. Not only will you learn from Richard, but you’ll also exchange ideas and tips with others on the same journey toward sustainable living.
