Grow your own

Picture
I can provide month-by-month, hands-on or Zoom tutorials, mentoring you through the growing season in your own garden, showing you how to grow your own tasty fruit, vegetables, salads, herbs and edible flowers to help provide you with optimum nutrition*.

Want to grow fruit and vegetables free from pesticides? Or something different you can't find in the shops? 

I can advise you on how and when to prepare your plot, from propagation to planting out, maintenance to harvesting – it’s easy once you know what to do and when.  

Aftercare advice 
I can provide specific written gardening aftercare advice sheets, depending on the style of gardening and types of plants used.
