If you've always wanted to reap the supposed health benefits of going organic but can't stomach the cost, why not start your own edible garden at home? Urban farming champion Edible Garden City offers workshops showing you how you can plant your own herbs and vegetables, even if your home is the size of a shoebox.

There are two weekly sessions to choose from for this four-part series: Thursday evenings, which run from Jul 16 to Aug 6 and on Saturday mornings, starting from Jul 18 through Aug 8. These classes are tailored for novices, so even if you have a black thumb, you'll learn how to turn that around with basics like plant care, maintenence and pest and disease management.
