About this Event

Meet gardening experts, Zoe Claymore and Leigh Hunt, as we dig into how you can grow your own food during this conversation at the RHS Lindley Library!

We don't all have access to a traditional garden or allotment, but container gardening is a great way to try your hand at growing your own herbs, fruit and vegetables.

We will be sharing our top tips for getting into gardening, starting with the basics around plant care and selecting the best plants for beginners. Discover the small varieties of fruit and vegetables which can grow in any space, some great plant combinations for designing beautiful pots, and recipes for making the most of your crop.

There will be plenty of time to ask questions, plus join us for a drinks reception after the conversation where you can explore the RHS Lindley Library’s collection and resources to support your gardening journey.

RHS membership not required. Additional tickets will be available on the door.
