Brocton Leys Organic Garden

Brocton Leys Organic Garden Welcome to Brocton Leys Organic Garden, Staffordshire. The garden has been certified by the Soil Ass A warm welcome awaits you. Day courses also available.

Situated on the edge of Cannock Chase, in an Edwardian garden, a small but wide range of organic fruit and vegetables are grown from seed. We rely on our own compost and green manures, but some horse manure comes from a local stable to add nutrients to the soil. All the waste from the garden gets recycled into recreating compost and fertility for the whole garden. All the lessons are conducted on

the theory of organic gardening in a conservatory. There are two greenhouses and a polytunnel for wet weather teaching, two acres of lawns, vegetable gardens, herb garden, woodland fruit trees and an old English apple orchard for practical sessions. The classes are small ensuring individual attention to assess personal gardening needs. Organic gardening course available throughout the seasons for all abilities. We are very passionate about what we teach and have over 21 years experience in organic gardening. We also run day courses for those who can't commit to a full nine week course. We can offer one to one training, or equally if you have a group of people who would like to book a day or a number of days then please use the link to the right for further information. If you have specific areas of learning that you would like us to cover, then please get in touch. We take a friendly, informal approach and hope that our attendees thoroughly enjoy the time they spend with us. Please make sure that you bring suitable clothing and footwear suitable for our 'hands on' courses. Refreshments will be provided and if you plan to stay over in the Staffordshire area we can advise on places to stay. We look forward to seeing you.

I am absolutely delighted to announce that I have been selected as a finalist for the Gardener of the Year category at the 2025 Soil Association Association BOOM Awards 2025! I cannot express how much this means to me, it has been a labour of love and having this kind of recognition makes all those years of hard work worth it! Thank you to the Soil Association and to the judges for seeing something in me!
