REGEN Series: What is a regenerative Market Garden? FREE

Ask the experts: Market Gardening for growers and market gardeners

This overview taster session is free and introduces you to the concept of Market Gardening in the UK in relation to food growing and farming.

We design, create and manage Market Gardens, Forest Gardens, Slvo-Horticulture, Silvopasture and other agroecological food growing systems.

We would like to share our knowledge with you and help inform others on what a commercially viable Market Garden might look like.

We practice Regenerative, Organic and No Dig practices, as well as crucial biodiverse aspects to our growing spaces which helps us manage pests without chemical input.

What could your market garden look like? We talk you through low cost, low maintenance solutions for a commercially viable market garden.

We will talk for around half this session, then answer questions at the end.

Aimed at growers and market gardens who wish to create a market garden, or improve their current systems using sustainable farming practices.

*Booking onto one of our courses adds you to our mailing list, you can opt out at any time, or email us to request you're not added. We don't share your details externally, and only use them for our own newsletter.*

About the Tutors

Rachel is a Landscape Architect & Urban Designer specialising in regenerative food production. She designs spaces for food, soil health and wildlife and biodiversity, as well as maximising harvests and reducing the work needed to achieve it.

She learnt to grow food from her Grandparents in Jersey who grew much of their own produce on their acre - including Jersey Royal Potatoes! Rachel still loves potatoes.

Growing food all her life, and commercially for the last 10 years, Rachel has worked with CSA, farms, market gardens, urban farms, community gardens and corporate businesses to increase food production and efficiency, whilst reducing labour and costs.

Rachel founded edge, a non-profit design agency, with the main aims of designing urban food production systems, growing food within whole ecosystems and educating others on food production systems and ecological farming practices.

Georgina is trained in education, wildlife gardening and pond creation, heading up our schools and education area of work.

She has a passion for edible flowers and loves adding these into all of our growing systems, as well as bog gardens, mini ponds and pollinator planting.

Georgina has been working with edge for the last 8 years and would love every school to be growing food in some way to support children learning about food and nature
