Chilli Growing Workshop - 17/04/2025 @ 2pm

Looking to add a fiery touch to your gardening skills? Join us for an exhilarating chilli growing workshop that promises to spice up your horticultural repertoire! Whether you’re a novice gardener or an experienced grower, this hands-on session is designed to guide you through the fascinating world of chilli cultivation.

Starting with propagation, participants will learn how to germinate seeds and nurture young chilli plants. You'll discover the essential steps to ensure strong germination and healthy seedlings, from soil selection to temperature control and light requirements. Our experts will share invaluable tips on how to care for your chillis as they grow, including advice on watering, fertilising and plant management to maximize yield and flavour.

However, the journey of a chilli grower is not without its challenges. The workshop will delve into common pests and diseases that can afflict chilli plants, such as aphids and fungal infections. You'll gain practical knowledge on how to identify, prevent, and manage these issues to keep your plants thriving.

The workshop will showcase the diverse array of chilli varieties that we grow at South Devon Chilli Farm, from the mild and tangy to the super-hot and fiery. Learn about the unique characteristics of each type, including popular favourites like jalapeños, habaneros, and cayenne peppers, as well as exotic and lesser-known varieties.

Join us at the South Devon Chilli Farm for an opportunity to learn some of the tricks of the trade and how we see how we run our chilli growing operation from behind the scenes. All participants will leave with a guaranteed armful of plants to practise their newly gained knowledge on for the forthcoming season.

Don't miss this opportunity to ignite your passion for chilli growing and take home a wealth of knowledge and inspiration!
