About the workshop 'THE BASICS OF PLANTING':
Guided by artist and gardener Johanna Tagada Hoffbeck this workshop will help nurture your gardening skills and confidence, giving you the basic know-how to start your own horticultural experiments at home.
Johanna will start things off by walking us through the basics of growing organic vegetables and herbs, speaking to seed selection, soil, season, biodiversity, and gardening on a budget. We will also riff on the shapes, colours, and energies we find in plants and seeds to paint and draw our impressions of our encounters.
No gardening experience is necessary – this event is suitable for beginners and the most experienced gardeners alike. All organic seeds, veganic soil, pots, art supplies and plant-based painting materials will be provided.
