As one of the UK’s most popular hobbies, the gardening revolution has really taken off, with people looking to become self-sufficient, healthier and more sustainable. Indeed, more than 300,000 people work allotments in the UK, while over 100,000 people are on allotment waiting lists. The Edible Garden Show was launched in 2011 in response to this grow-your-own revolution, and is now putting down new roots in London.
The Edible Garden Show will be taking place at Alexandra Palace, London, from 28-30 March, 2014 – this upcoming weekend! They were kind enough to provide us with 5 pairs of tickets to give away to our fans – we’re sure our lucky winners are going to have a great, green-inspired time.
About The Show
This three day event is a mix of celebrity speakers, interactive advice sessions, cookery demonstrations, innovative products and a wide range of exhibitors selling everything you need for a slice of the ‘good life’.
Perfectly timed for the beginning of the growing season, the show is full of great advice for both aspiring and expert gardeners.
