Talk: "Starting An Organic Allotment"
Chris Collins
Head of Horticulture at Garden Organic
Broadcaster, author, plantsman, school gardening pioneer and a Londoner! He's back by popular demand, after giving us a very enjoyable talk in April 2019 on the Principles of Organic Gardening and more.
Chris is an engaging communicator great at explaining what to do, why, when and how - you can catch one of his YouTube demos (on seed sowing) here: https://www.youtube.com
This will be our first meeting downstairs in the now renamed Engine Room (formerly known as The Kitchen). This is the room adjacent to Reception on the Ground Floor which will be more convenient and give us more space and better facilities.
