Tutor: Rachel, keen gardener and print artist
Whether you’re an expert gardener or a complete novice, cut-and-come again salads are a great way to start the growing year. You can do this even if you don’t have a garden - a bright windowsill is all you need to grow and eat your own salads. Keen gardener and Virtual Village Hall print artist, Rachel Moore, shows us how.
