Join us for RHS Garden Rosemoor's National Gardening Week activities which should help gardening novices and those with more experience with the skills they need to grow some of their own food. With a range of activities and advice available throughout the week, there will be something for everyone.

'It’s clear that people are keen to reconnect with where their food comes from. We’re supporting this burgeoning interest by encouraging people, groups, societies, garden centres, nurseries and other organisations to showcase their edible expertise, and highlight all things grow-your-own', Guy Barter, RHS Chief Horticulturist.
