A Year Full of Veg with Sarah Raven at Oxleaze, Gloucestershire

This course encapsulates Sarah's veg philosophy.

The veg areas of Sarah's veg garden at Perch Hill are all about super-production, not just for the summer months, but throughout the winter too. What are the plants you can grow through the cold, grey months of the year and which need more light and heat for late spring and summer harvests? We concentrate on cut-and-come-again crops - salad leaves, edible flowers herbs and leafy greens plus the tastiest varieties (after much trialling) of tomatoes, peas, courgettes and beans. For us, this is not the entire story — the veg garden needs to look beautiful year round too, so we create patterns with different leaf shapes and colours of salad, plus we will show you how to make the nicest looking veg supports and climbing frames.

Sarah will guide you on the best salads, herbs and other veg we have growing in the veg garden at Perch Hill – the edible crops relevant to the particular season, plus helping you turn your plot into ayear-round productive and beautiful space. This afternoon session includes practical demonstrations showing you some key relevant skills for this course including an explanation of our sowing and growing systems. We'll end with a Q&A. You will also get a detailed course hand-out covering all the information.

This course is taught by Sarah Raven. It is a lecture with slides format, with some practical demos. You will also get a course hand-out covering all the information taught on the day. It is held at Oxleaze Barn, Filkins, Lechlade GL7 3RB
