Who is this course for?


We offer tailored versions of this course, that are aimed towards:


 * Local residents across Manchester, Stockport and Tameside
 * New and prospective allotment holders
 * Housing or residents associations
 * Allotment holders - The allotment course sessions are primarily geared for new allotment holders to give them the confidence, skills and knowledge to maintain a sustainable, productive and well kept plot. However, we find that existing plot holders also like to attend this course as a refresher and that they do still learn something new.


Length of the courses:
We run a one day course programme and also a 6 week course programme across both sites.
