Brampton Food Network are part of Sustainable Brampton.

Places are still available for a course in vegetable growing which is due to start in Brampton next month.

Brampton Food Network has teamed up with David Haigh, previously head of horticulture at Newton Rigg, to develop an eight week course with weekly sessions covering such topics such as pest control, soil improvement, dealing with weeds and growing from seedlings.

The numbers are limited to 12 people and the cost is £80 per person for the full eight week course.
Gareth Thomas, co-ordinator with the Brampton Food Network, said: "This is an ideal course for anybody who wants to get more out of their allotment or veg patch. There will also be an opportunity for the group to visit gardens and allotments to share problems and get expert advice."

If you are interested please email: bfn@bramptoncommunitycentre.org.uk or call 016977 45022 as soon as possible.
