A free workshop teaching people how to grow their own plants is being held at a Somerset garden centre.
Throughout August, Dobbies Garden Centres is hosting its free 'grow-your-own workshop at the Shepton Mallet store.
People will be taught how to grow fruit, vegetables, and flowers at home.
Dubbed the 'Grow How' workshops, the initiative aims to inspire individuals to make the most of their outdoor spaces, with a promise of new insights regardless of gardening experience.
The sessions will involve discussions on a range of topics, including growing plants from seeds, cultivating tasty and attractive fruits, and identifying easy-to-grow vegetables.
Participants will also learn about making high-quality compost and will have a chance to pose their questions during the Q&A segment.
The Green Team will also provide advice on growing potatoes in time for Christmas dinner.
Spaces for the sessions are limited, and can be booked at dobbies.com/events.
Nigel Lawton, Dobbies' plant buyer, said: "Growing flowers, vegetables, and fruit from scratch is a rewarding process.
"Even if you are new to gardening, it can be surprisingly easy to get started, but it’s always nice to hear some top tips to broaden your knowledge.
"There are so many wonderful plants to grow in your garden and any outdoor space.
"Our Grow How workshops are a great way to learn about what grows well at certain times throughout the year.
"Now is the perfect time to plant potatoes to have ready to tuck into just in time for Christmas dinner."
