Want to grow your own fresh vegetables at home, even with limited space?
In this hands-on gardening workshop, you’ll learn how to grow herbs and vegetables using simple, sustainable methods — perfect for small homes, flats, and urban living.
This class focuses on practical techniques you can easily recreate at home, including how to reuse everyday items like takeaway containers and bottles to grow your own food.
Your instructors, chef duo Hanna and Simon, have spent years growing their own ingredients to use in their cooking. Now they’re sharing their knowledge so you can enjoy fresh, home-grown produce in your own kitchen.
Classes are held in a spacious, air-conditioned studio with small group sizes, ensuring a relaxed and personal learning experience. Weekday sessions are often quieter and may even become private classes.

Recent reviews of Grow Your Own Vegetables Workshop: Small Space Gardening

  • 5/5 from Dimitri Kyriakou, attended Sep 2026: Great class, really fun session, especially as it was a 1-on-1, so plenty of time to go into things in depth. We covered a wide variety of veggies/plants/herbs (peppers, chilies, avocado, lemon, potatoes, rosemary, spring onions, etc.). Very patient and passionate teacher, I will definitely go back once I've grown a few bits to do a pickling and fermentation class. The only thing I'd recommend for next time would be to have some "documentation" as a follow-up; I took A LOT of notes (maybe that's just me) which did not allow me to fully listent to everything he was saying but perhaps more of a me thing.
  • 5/5 from Angela Duffin, attended Aug 2026: Simon and Hannah have cl at and precise instructions throughout. They were both friendly and welcoming. Simon explained the origins of making Kimchi, onion buns as well as, growing vegetables. It was a fun and enjoyable experience.
  • 5/5 from Jasmine Mohtashami, attended Jul 2025: Very fun and tasty! The hosts were really nice and helpful, definitely recommend! Loved the photos!
  • 4/5 from Jacquie Bulllen, attended May 2025: It was a lovely session with Hannah and Simon. I learnt a lot about using existing materials to grow your own vegetables. And I now know how to make boa buns!
  • 4/5 from Bushra Abubakar Ahmed, attended Nov 2024: I had an incredible time with Simon. He’s a friendly teacher and very easy going. I learnt a lot of useful hacks to make your plants grow properly and efficiently. I liked the idea of using recylable materials and kitchen waste to use the most. It is a lovely experience.
  • 4/5 from Cristina Zorat, attended Sep 2024: This class was a birthday present. Simon was lovely, knowledgeable and answered all my questions. My session was online, perhaps it would have been better to go in loco (as they offer) and have a longer session to actually start the process. I am happy with the handout that Simon sent me after the class. Having said that, I think perhaps £80 is a little expensive for what is on offer.
  • 5/5 from Sarah Lier, attended May 2024: Simon was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. I learned a lot and can highly recommend this class!
  • 5/5 from Lisa Brown, attended Sep 2023: Very knowledgeable tutor Simon told us many skills to grow vegetables at home. We managed to plant some seeds and herbs. All for us to take home to grow. Simon gave us tips about composter, fertilize and anti-pests at home. All very useful and we will definitely use his methods soon. We also tasted Simon's pick-of-day. Home-grown tomato salad is very juicy and delicious with thyme. Look forward to next year we can make it at home with the vegs we grew ourselves. Thank you very much to Simon for the wonderful gardening class.
  • 5/5 from Andrew, attended Jul 2023: This is a very interesting class. Simon showed us use kitchen wastes to grow vegetables. We received herbs ready to grow and seeds to use for next year. Also tasted their homemade pickles with the veg they grew themselves. Already recommended to our friends and definitely will be back for other classes.
  • 5/5 from Bass Fraiklin, attended Jun 2023: Very good teachers and well structured class. Very interesting class to learn new gardening tricks. Went home with some herbs. Now waiting them growing. Definitely agree that we throw away too much that Simon turned them into seeds. Very good class. Definitely will recommend friends to come as well.
