Cheshire, England

Share:

Newtown sits in Cheshire with a quiet charm that makes it easy to find good fun without driving miles.

You can catch a live band at the town hall or grab a pint while watching the latest show at the cinema. Near Here keeps track of what's going on so you don't have to scroll through endless lists looking for something to do.

Introduction to Seed Production

Introduction to Seed Production

Introduction to Seed Production Mon 13 Apr 2026 • 10:30 AM – 4:00 PM Y Gaer, Brecon, LD3 7DW Join growers from the Wales Seed Hub for an introduction to seed production. This workshop is ideal for those who want to begin their journey into producing seed, perhaps as a Seed Guardian for the Brecon Seed Library! We will cover the essential topics for producing good-quality seed: planning, growing, selection, harvesting, and processing. By the end of the workshop, you will have the confidence to go away and start growing your own seed crops. The workshop is designed for those who already have some understanding of how to grow food crops (we won’t be able to cover the basics of food growing from scratch). The workshop is run by the Seed Sovereignty Programme – https://www.seedsovereignty.info Ticket prices vary: We ask those who can afford it to book a general admission ticket. If you need a partially subsidised ticket, you are welcome to select that option at the checkout. We have a limited number of full bursary tickets.
