Georgie's 83 year old mother, Googie, has a garden 0.87 of an acre which she still gardens herself with a good deal of vigour. Have a little late winter tour and as we go a demo (eek!) of some of her top five tools without which she would not be. And yes, there are hedgehogs.
As you can see from what's going on in Googie's greenhouse, we are in mid seed sowing season. If you want to get to grips with growing hardy annuals from seed - from knowing what compost to use, how many seeds to sow, how to prick out and pot on - you can join Georgie for her online workshop on 2nd March, from wherever you are in the world (the recording is available if you can't join live.) All the details are here on our website https://www.commonfarmflowers.com/collections/flower-farming-and-growing-workshops/products/sowing-hardy-annuals-online-workshop
We have a real mix of online workshops and demos coming up in March. Take a look at our workshop calendar here and see if any of them are of interest: https://www.commonfarmflowers.com/pages/workshop-calendar
If you're booking a place on our workshops or demos the website will ask you to choose a delivery date - any date will do! And if you can't join our sessions live then you are still very welcome to book as we send the recording and notes of the workshop out to everyone afterwards, so you can download the session and refer back to it as and when you need to.
For an extended ad free version of this clip, all the info re 'the project,' and all Georgie's new clips with extra tips, news and regular live at 5s, do join her YouTube club. You can join up here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq2Rnllu5K93CuWRQwgc25A/join
