Edible, Easy Eco-Gardening with Alys Fowler

19th May 2021

Online


Learn how to create an undemanding, ecological, edible garden with The Guardian’s gardening columnist, author and TV gardener, Alys Fowler.

About this Event

Join The Orchard Project for a fascinating evening with our charity patron, renowned celebrity horticulturalist, Alys Fowler.

Alys will talk about how to create a productive, beautiful, low maintenance, edible garden using regenerative and ecological principles. She’ll share insights from her forthcoming book and inspire us with her lifelong passion for urban gardening and foraging.

A large part of this event will be dedicated to answering your questions on ecological and edible gardening. You’ll be able to send a question in advance.

Our legendary fruit tree expert, Lewis McNeill, will join Alys on the panel. Lewis will talk about how to apply these permaculture principles to community orchards. He’ll be glad to answer your questions on how to create resilient, ecological orchards with abundant fruit yields.
