Subscribe to the mailing list for details
We are about to launch a new blog on organic and moon gardening which will be updated regularly by John Harris, head gardener of Tresillian House, who is widely known as one of Britain's leading moon gardening experts.
John has practised his specialist organic and moon gardening techniques for more than 20 years to produce better, cheaper and less labour-intensive crops.
John is a regular panellist on Radio Cornwall's gardening phone-in show and the Women's Institute's horticultural advisor for the southwest. John and the walled garden at Tresillian appeared on BBC2s Alan's Garden Secrets in 2010 and he is author of 'Moon Gardening'. John also runs seasonally based gardening workshops at Tresillian.
If you want to find out all about when to sew, plant, prune and harvest fruit and vegetables following the moon calendar, this should be of interest to you. John's advice will be simple, sensible and easy to follow and you will have the chance to share your experiences and ideas with him and others.
