Interested in Horticulture Training?

At Let’s Grow Preston, we believe gardening is for everyone.

 

Alongside our community growing spaces, we run year-round training and workshops, led by experienced local horticulturalists.

Our Saturday morning sessions combine expert guidance with hands-on learning — from seed sowing and propagation to wildlife gardening, food growing, pruning, and seasonal skills.

Whether you’re completely new to gardening or looking to build confidence and knowledge, our workshops offer a welcoming place to learn, grow, and connect with others.
