Upcoming webinar: Grow Edibles at Home

Looking to learn how to grow edibles at home in Singapore? I have organised two webinars for this month, priced at $19 🙂

In these two upcoming sessions, I share step-by-step instructions and helpful tips to get started on your edible growing journey! Through this one-hour crash course, learn how to grow a plant from seed to harvest, and other basic urban farming knowledge, including necessary tools, how and when to fertilise and all you need to know to grow strong, healthy plants in soil.

At the end of the webinars, we will have a brief Q&A session so that I can answer anything that you would like to know, so you feel confident enough to grow edibles at home. The webinar link will be available one week before the event, so make sure to check your message inbox closer to the date.

There are two sessions available:

Learn how to grow your own raw salad ingredients on your sunny balcony or backyard in this two-hour workshop . I will share essential gardening tips and know-how for growing salad greens that are well-suited for our climate. Guests will take home a gardening starter pack which includes seeds, a propagation kit, seed raising mix, fertiliser, pots and plant notes on vegetables and herbs such as kale, purslane, lettuce, beetroot leaves, beans and cucumber, and you will leave with the knowledge you need in order to grow, nurture and harvest your own food
