The RHS is increasingly using technology to connect with gardeners.

They have an excellent facebook event this week with Alys Fowler, one of my favourite gardeners, answering your questions on their Grow Your Own Facebook page via drop-in Q&A sessions. This takes place on Friday 29 July from 3pm – 4pm and is definitely one to join in with.https://www.facebook.com/rhsgrowyourown

If you miss it, then the next best thing is to buy her amazing book The Edible Garden  which is a must for anyone who Grows their Own fruit and veg. Full of brilliant photos and packed with inspirational ideas for planting. Just love the way she makes growing your own veggies such a fun and artistic thing to do.Really hope we see Alys back on the TV very soon.

I am not an experienced gardener - more of an enthusiastic amateur who learns by trial and error and who is keen to "manage" the effects of shifting weather patterns on my garden. Writing this blog is my passion and it has evolved over 12 years to inspire engagement with climate change outside our back doors, in our personal gardens and green spaces. My mission is to fertilise and expand this platform to grow a community of global gardeners communicating about the effects of climate change on our plants and exploring how each individual can make small changes in our lives to become more sustainable. The future of our gardens and #OurPlanet is in our hands - please plant your own seeds for our collective sustainable future.

    Thank you for sharing info about Alys’ Facebook event. She’s one of my favourite gardeners too!

    I’d also recommend her other book, ‘The Thrifty Gardener’, which includes all kinds of ideas on how to upcycle, reduce waste and garden in a generally more environmentally friendly way.
