Growing your own fruit is incredibly rewarding and relatively easy to do.

This talk covers some of the popular soft fruit gardeners grow at home and focuses on where, when and how to grow them. We look at a brief history, planting, maintaining, pruning and propagating each fruit using chemical free practices, and companion planting.

I usually cover raspberries, strawberries, currants, blueberries and rhubarb depending on the length of the talk but other varieties can be covered if required. The talk is a mix of both theory and practical demonstration.

There is always ample opportunity for discussions and questions throughout. This talk can be made into a practical workshop, please get in touch to discuss.
