Cookery writer and broadcaster Rose Prince will be giving a talk for Horatio’s Garden at Yeo Valley’s organic garden Holt Farm. Join us for a spoiling day at this incredible venue on Tuesday September 22nd 2015, 10.30am-4.00pm.
Rose will talk on “The New English Kitchen – seasonal eating and clever ways to make food go further”
The day will be generously hosted by the amazing Yeo Valley team. The venue, Holt Farm, is home to the Yeo Valley Organic Garden which is one of only a handful of ornamental gardens in Britain to be certified organic by The Soil Association. The talk and lunch will take place in the Garden Cafe.
Starting with coffee and homemade biscuits, guests will then hear Rose’s talk followed by a hearty, homemade lunch – all made with fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced in and around the valley.
After lunch, guests will be able to tour the six acres of stunning organic garden and talk to the team about the planting. The garden is the work of Sarah Mead and her team who have spent the last 20 years creating a beautifully diverse, seasonal patchwork of ornamental and edible planting areas.
