Another great horticultural event on the 19th of August, this time focusing on cut flower production, seed saving and vegetable growing.
We spent time looking around the productive growing areas and learning more about how different vegetables and flowers are grown, managed and harvested. The cut flower areas were looking particularly impressive, with a huge variety of colour and form throughout the beds.
A large part of the day focused on seed saving, including how seeds are collected, cleaned and stored for future use. We also looked at some of the different equipment and traditional methods used to separate seed from the dried plant material.
We then explored the vegetable production areas, looking at crop protection, covered growing, propagation and some of the techniques used to produce healthy crops throughout the season.
It was another really useful day and a chance to learn more about areas of horticulture that I don't necessarily work with every day. The more events and visits I attend, the more I realise just how broad horticulture is and how much there is still to learn.
