The last few years has seen increasingly variable and extreme conditions for our growing seasons, making it very difficult to produce food reliably.In this session we will look at some of the most common challenges we are likely to face so that we are better prepared in 2025! Some of these might include a slow cold start to the season, a summer with no sunshine, a drought, an extremely wet winter, aphids covering our plants, an abundance of slugs demolishing our plants, or blight wiping out our tomatoes.
The session will include practical activities and demonstrations of how to increase the resilience of your garden at home.
