TALKS at SEEDY SATURDAY LEWES 202510.30am “A wilder Way to Grow Vegetables” Suzi Turner and Rosanna Catterall.
Suzi Turner, deputy head gardener at Knepp, will talk about growing vegetables and flowers in the walled garden redesigned in 2019 in keeping with Knepp's pioneering rewilding project: “We’ve taken what we’ve learnt from the wider rewilding project to spark a new way of thinking about how a garden can function as a dynamic ecosystem”. Rosanna Catterall helped transform a 3 acre paddock at Knepp into a productive, organic market garden. She will focus on growing seasonal veg for diversity and flavour and the merits and challenges of no dig and low till growing. “We’re always aiming to have living roots in the soil, keeping the surface covered with a wide range of plants to help build topsoil and protect it from the drying sun, wind, and excessive rain”. Both growers will dig into how to grow productively alongside often competing demands for productivity, aesthetics, and biodiversity.
