Herresta Lada has for some time had professional cultivation support from our gardener Erika at Grenwerk Trädgård & Blomster and has been both impressed and saved by both her knowledge and her wonderful personality.

Where and when?
Herresta Lada offers in collaboration with our gardener Erika four inspirational opportunities of 2 hours each. The meetings are held on Mondays between 18.00-20.15 (including break) well distributed over the growing season according to the following dates; March 1, May 3, June 21 and August 30.
So far we have seen Zoom. We hope to see you on site outdoors at Herresta Lada in June. If this is not possible for corona reasons, we will continue with Zoom meetings. Erika will show us how it works in practice, regardless of whether it takes place at Zoom or at Herresta. So we will not cancel, but follow the growing season and see how it grows!
Before each occasion, you will receive an email about suitable preparations so you can work actively with your own crops before, during or immediately after the meetings if you wish. In between, you can email in your questions which can then be raised at the meetings.
Price and registration
The price is SEK 395 at a time (if you did not buy all four occasions directly, with a discount). NOTE - it is possible to hook on even if you missed the first two opportunities!
Registration is via email to tord@herrestalada.com and confirmed after payment via Swish to 070-2011430 (Tord Olsson). The last day to register is 10 days before each meeting.
