Fresh, seasonal produce with zero food miles and packaging, harvested minutes before you eat it – what could be healthier and more fulfilling? Many of us are interested in growing some fruit & veg, getting some outdoor excercise and getting back in touch with the seasons. These pages aim to provide some guidance, include relevant local links and generally encourage you to get growing!
The page on wildlife provides links and tips on supporting bees and other wildlife, and the Peat page is essential reading for anyone thinking of buying compost. Our monthly gardening advice notes provide seasonal tips from an experienced local fruit & veg grower and don’t forget to check the Cook page for recipes!
