| A gift from Kew! |
Yesterday I attended a day's course at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew called 'A Beginner's Guide to Kitchen Gardening'. The course was aimed at gardeners who were interested in starting a vegetable garden; its content included site preparation, sowing, growing, protecting and harvesting crops. It was hosted by Joe Archer, lead horticulturist and kitchen gardener who was featured in the series, on BBC 2, called 'Kew on a Plate' during 2015. He was responsible for growing heritage produce alongside Raymond Blanc and Kate Humble who spent a year at Kew growing produce and cooking delicious seasonal recipes. Joe is also the co-author along with Caroline Craig of 'The Kew Garden's Children's Cookbook: Plant, Cook, Eat
