Hosted by: Paul West

Presenter: Charles Dowding

Originally scheduled for November 2025, we worked some magic, fused some calendars, went back and forth with with a few around the world emails and finally managed to lock the LEGENDARY Charles Dowding in for our February LIVE DIGITAL workshop. Charles is one of the world’s greatest proponents of No Dig Gardening, sharing his passion with the world from his market garden Home Acres, in Somerset, England. What is No Dig I hear you ask? Well it’s a system of gardening where you don’t have to dig. Jokes aside, it’s a soil friendly approach to gardening where you build garden beds using layers of organic matter to create a growing environment that is rich in nutrients and perfect for growing veggies.

What you’ll learn:

• What is No Dig gardening
• How to build a No Dig garden
• Maintaining a No Dig garden
• Growing delicious, healthy food in a No Dig garden

Who’s it for?

• People with poor soils
• People that want to garden without back breaking labour
• People that want to work with nature rather than against it
• People that want to grow delicious, healthy food
