Plant Exchange looked a little sparse this month - not a lot of offerings at this time of the year!
George Dunnion from Golf Course Allotments, Muswell Hill came to talk to us today about allotment gardening. He and Serge Charles created an allotment from scratch, overcoming floods and pests to achieve a 'Gardening Against the Odds' award at Syon House in 2013 for their rose garden. George's talk was informative and very funny and covered subjects from the initial hard slog of draining a waterlogged site; clearing long neglected overgrown areas to reveal a useful fruit cage; what to plant for maximum visual effect (exotic vegetables and plants were high on the list); and encounters with various garden pests and how to combat or co-exist with them! A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon!
