Red Gardens Growing Courses

Grow More Food

Whether you're growing food in a few containers, a back garden, an allotment or a polytunnel, these practical, one-day courses help you become a more productive grower. Learn proven techniques to grow healthier crops, enjoy bigger harvests and make the most of the space you have or from the garden you are planning.

For almost 20 years I've been growing food here at RED Gardens in Cloughjordan, Co. Tipperary, Ireland, supplying my family and the wider community while helping others to become more confident vegetable growers.

The best part is that there's always something new to learn. Small changes in how you prepare, plant and manage your garden can make a big difference to what you harvest, whatever the season.

Join me for an immersive day in the garden, where we'll explore practical techniques you can take home and put into practice straight away. If you'd like a taste of my approach before you visit, have a look at my YouTube channel.

Who Are These Courses For?

These courses are designed for people who already enjoy growing vegetables and want to take their skills to the next level, or for people planning to start growing and want to be successful from the start. Whether you have a large allotment or a container, a greenhouse or a few raised beds, or big plans for next year, you'll leave with practical knowledge that will help you grow more food with greater confidence.

What Will I Learn?

Each course explores a different aspect of productive vegetable growing.

Topics include:

Planning and preparing your growing space
Choosing the right crops and varieties
Sourcing quality seeds and plants
Building healthy soil and feeding the plants
Growing more from every square metre
Managing pests and diseases
Harvesting for quality, flavour and continuity throughout the season

Every course combines practical demonstrations and enough theory to make sense of it all, with plenty of time in the garden and opportunities to ask questions, so you'll leave with techniques and knowledge you can apply immediately at home.
