A SERIES of gardening sesisons will take place at a farm in Somerset as part of Organic September this month.
These masterclass events will take place at the Yeo Valley Organic Garden in Blagdon, North Somerset, from today (September 6) until September 14.
The Soil Association certified garden will be hosting speakers including Nicola Hope, holder of RHS Master of Horticulture and trustee of Garden Organic, Sally Morgan, editor of Organic Farming magazine, author David O’Carroll, Nigel Cox and Richard Rickitt.
Discussions will include edimentals, organic gardening, bees and gardening for nature.

Sessions start at 10:30am. The garden shop will be open and the tearoom will serve tea, coffee, light lunches and cakes.
Head gardener of Yeo Valley, Sarah Mead, organised the event.
“As a nation of gardeners, we could all be a bit kinder to our green spaces and organic principles can really help with this," she said.
"Small changes can really make a big impact. In honour of Organic September, we’ve invited a wide range of speakers covering a feast of gardening topics so people can learn a lot from each of the sessions and showcase the joy gardening can bring.”
The Yeo Valley Organic Garden is an ornamental garden which features edible plants in a seasonal patchwork that has been constantly evolving over the past three decades.
