Novice Gardener?

I am now officially a Master Gardener.

This makes me sound like a possessor of mystic knowledge and/or maker of knowledgeable statements, but essentially it is a scheme where volunteers (like myself) give support and advice to people who are starting to grow their own food.

If you are, or know of, someone in London who might want a bit of friendly help with planning your garden, gardening techniques – from how to sow seeds to organic pest control – or what to do with your tasty home-grown veg, then please get in touch. You can email me at foodrantblog[at]gmail.com.

There is more info about the scheme here. I am part of the Islington branch, but could try and put you in touch with someone nearer to you if that’s more convenient.
