Here's a photo of garlic planted in November and freshly planted Hannibal Leeks.

Big Garlic bulbs can be hard to grow. Here's some key principles-

Sun
Water
Weed free 
Enough space to grow

The right balance of fertility, too much can favour leaf formation over quality bulbs. 

We have an alium leaf miner pest that will damage and distort onions, leeks and garlic. To manage this I cover them with a protective net in March to April and August to September when the fly is laying its eggs.

Dear Alumni and Old Scholars, 

Spring brings new beginnings and a sense of renewal, just like the spirit of Easter - a time for connection, reflection and growth. We recognise that this is a precious time that is best spent with family and friends and will therefore hold our next Alumni Tea & Talk morning session with Ingrid, on Saturday 17th May 2025. 

Join us for a delightful morning of conversation over tea as we reflect on the past, reconnect, reminisce, share ideas, hear your suggestions and celebrate our shared history. 

Thank you to all who joined us in the past! We can't wait to welcome you back for another relaxing morning tea and chat!  RSVP: [email protected]

Peek through microscopes at the living world in soil
Hands-on compost and soil transformation demonstrations
