From the beginning of April the GreenFriends U.K. Team rallied online on Zoom and produced weekly videos on how to grow organic vegetables in your garden or allotment.

From sowing seeds to composting, natural bug control to soil balance we covered everything you would need to know to start “Get Growing” at home.

We started with Microgreens and Sprouting and this enabled us all to grow micro nutrient leaves on our windowsill and was an added bonus to our meals.

We share our triumphs and tribulations in our newly formed GreenFriends U.K. WhatsApp group https://chat.whatsapp.com/HKhdBtKrWSR09Z3jpdsBMn

Although time consuming and requiring financial investment many of us have some amazing results all with Ammas Grace and her teachings to love nature and be one with nature. Here is some feedback from our what’s-app group:

“It has been a lot of work but I am feeling truly grateful for this opportunity to grow my family high quality food work with nature and Mother Earth. Observe the miracle of it all. The plants, the bugs, the earth. It has been much learning.”
Peter

“The whole process has been such a blessing”
Aparna

“Each day we eat a little of what we have grown, with no chemicals and protected from the animals that want to eat it before we do. We are are investing in our health and well-being and our minds and belly’s are full of nature’s nourishment”
Surya

Further feedback about the Get Growing course online and continued connection through WhatsApp group…” it is utterly amazing what you all have created. I am always so much in awe when I see all the photos, how much love people have put into growing and want to share the love with the team. AND all you for supporting and providing them with guidance and education. This is just the start …..”

Nuala

Next year we are planning on delivering GetGrowing Course in person at the Martineau Gardens in Birmingham on the 24 and 25 April. We hope to see some of you there.
