About this Event
We will talk through the types of fruit which can be grown here in the UK.
We will look at various production systems for fruit production and the options for increasing production using other spaces.
We will use some case studies and examples to demonstrate the benefits of fruit production and why to grow regeneratively.
This is a free introductory taster session designed to give you a basic understanding of the topic and whet your appetite for learning more about it.
