Growing Through the Seasons

Market Garden Summer Course
10am-3.30pm Friday 4 July 2025

Summer Growing, Successions, Summer Crop Care

Our summer market garden day is packed with hands-on learning, expert insights, and tasty food – all set in the beautiful surroundings of the Knepp Estate.

Whether you’re a seasoned grower or just getting started, these sessions are designed to give you practical tools and inspiration for a thriving, biodiverse vegetable garden year-round.

Our focus: caring for summer crops, succession planting, and planning for autumn & winter crops.

What We’ll Cover

In-depth tour of Knepp’s highly productive, regenerative market garden: See the peak abundance of summer produce grown just meters from Wilding Kitchen & Shop.

Hands-on hot crop care: Learn how to keep tomatoes, cucumbers, and aubergines happy and productive! We’ll cover pruning, feeding, watering strategies, and natural approaches to pest and disease control.

Visit the stunning rewilded kitchen garden: Get a first-hand look at how this biodiverse garden integrates fruit and veg in a thriving polyculture system – perfect for those wanting to grow more at home while working with nature.

Delicious local food

Enjoy fresh brownies with your morning coffee or tea, and graze on a seasonal lunchtime platter prepared by Wilding Kitchen – showcasing the very best of the market garden produce.

There may be a little walking involved around both garden sites, so do bring appropriate footwear and dress for the weather. This safari requires a 6-minute drive from the Market Garden to get to the Rewilded Walled Garden. We don’t provide transport but if you’re stuck, please let us know ahead of the safari.

Our 12+ Policy

Knepp Wildland Safaris, our gardens and campsite are all about the quiet and patient observation of nature.

Some of the species we are likely to encounter are shy or can be frightened by loud noises or sudden movements. Our campsite with open-air fire-pits, wood-burning stoves and an on-site pond is unsuitable for small children.

For this reason, our safaris, garden visits, holiday cottages and campsite are suitable only for children of 12 and over.
