Do I need any prior knowledge?

No. The sessions are tailored to your level, whether you’ve never gardened before or are looking to resolve specific issues with your own garden.

Do I need to have a rented allotment?

Not at all. You can sign up without having a plot with us or anywhere else. In fact, many people come to the school before deciding whether they want their own allotment.

Can we come as a group?

Yes. People often come as couples, with family or with friends, and the session is tailored to your shared interests so that everyone gets the most out of the day.

Learn to grow with us in Vilanova

At Tres Viñas, we run an organic farming school in Vilanova for those who want to learn how to grow crops without using chemicals.

It’s simple: you choose which crop interests you and we’ll organise a session on that topic. We work directly in the field, by appointment, whether to answer a specific question or to understand how to grow organically at home from scratch. You don’t need to have a rented allotment to come along.

Key points about the sessions

By appointment

The session is arranged over the phone and scheduled to suit both your availability and ours.

Choose the crop

You tell us what you want to learn to grow, and we tailor the content accordingly.

Out in the field

The session takes place out in the field, not in a classroom. You learn by watching and trying things out.

Which crop would you like to learn how to grow?

Give us a call and at Tres Viñas we’ll organise a bespoke session at our organic farming school in Vilanova. You bring your question or the crop, and we’ll take care of everything.

Everything you’ll learn in our sessions

How to prepare good soil

Before planting, it’s a good idea to check the soil. In this session, we’ll look at the condition of your soil, what it’s lacking, and how to improve it with compost, green manure or natural soil improvers. Healthy soil saves a lot of trouble later on.

When and how to sow

Sowing isn’t just about putting the seed in the ground. We’ll go through what you can plant each month of the year, how to prepare the planting hole, when to water, and what signs to look out for to know if the plant is doing well or if you need to intervene in time.

Treating pests without pesticides

When people ask what you learn at an organic farming school, this is almost always what they’re referring to. We’ll look at how to identify the pest, why it has appeared, and what natural methods you can use to control it.
