Free to use and share
Every guide, care card and calendar here may be printed, photocopied and handed out at a workshop, a school or a resident association meeting without asking us — please only keep the credit line intact. The plant care cards are designed to be printed on A4, cut into four and stuck to a pot; the sowing calendar is meant for a kitchen wall.
Which one to start with
If you own nothing yet, take the Balcony Garden Starter Kit — it covers soil mix, pot sizes and the five easiest crops in fourteen pages. If you already grow a few things, the Seasonal Sowing Calendar is the one to pin up. Teachers should go straight to the School Green Club Handbook.
Ask us something we have not answered
The plant care questions below are the ones we are asked most often at workshops. If yours is not there, send it through the About Us page — questions asked twice usually end up on this page, and sometimes as a tip of the week.
