Growing Soft Fruit

A strawberry as an example of growing soft fruit

August 5, 2023 at 10:00 - 12:00

Cost: £45

A course for those wanting to learn about growing soft fruit (berries) using the wonderful range of soft fruits that can be grown in the garden. All the main soft fruit crops will be covered including strawberries, raspberries, blackcurrants, gooseberries and blueberries, as well as less common ones. The session will look at planting, protecting, pruning and picking and how to use and preserve berry crops. The course is most suitable for those who have, or plan to have, a range of soft fruit in their garden.

The course will be led by our regular organic vegetable gardening expert, Tony Chalcraft. He has grown just about every type of fruit and vegetable that can be grown in the North of England. He specialises in having fresh produce all through the year, mainly grown outside, but also using greenhouses and a polytunnel. It is this expertise that make his courses here so popular.

The workshop will mainly be held indoors, but you will get an opportunity to see the vegetable garden here at Stillingfleet Lodge as a reference point.

All courses include entry to the garden plus welcome coffee and biscuits. Unless stated,  materials are provided and you will leave each workshop with plenty of reference information.

Workshop fees cannot be refunded if you cancel less than 7 days prior to date of workshop.
