Wildlife Gardening Talk – Growing Vegetables in Small Spaces and Containers

Wildlife Gardening Talk – Growing Vegetables in Small Spaces and Containers
Tue 13 May, 18:00 - 20:00
Sutton Courtenay Road, Sutton Courtenay, Abingdon
Find out how to make the most of a small space to grow delicious organic vegetables with expert Robert Longstaff.
You don’t need a big space or years of experience to grow delicious vegetables in a wildlife friendly way. Come along and hear visiting organic gardening expert Robert Longstaff share his experience and give you the knowledge you need to successfully grow veg in small spaces and containers.
Even if you only have a windowsill, balcony or porch it is possible to grow fresh vegetables and herbs. If you have more space it can still be beneficial to grow in containers, providing special conditions and concentrated care, allowing more to be grown in a small space. We will discuss types of container and compost, siting, feeding and general maintenance, as well as which varieties work best and how to maximise yields.
The talk will start at 6pm in the education centre, but the reserve will be open from 5pm if you would like to take a walk or have a picnic first.
