– which we hope to have once Peter Clarke has shown us how to prune, support and nurture soft fruit; and which we could do, on the bonfire, after the soft fruit workshop, but probably won’t – we’ll leave that to Heston.

Join us on the 26th November from 2pm for the last HCFA workshop in the 2011 calendar. This will be followed by the delayed HCFA bonfire night – from 4pm.

If you would like to attend the workshop and, afterwards, mull over soft fruit at the HCFA BBQ just bring yourself and a drink of your choice to the HCFA site on the 26th of November - details below:

Subject: This will be Peter Clarke’s fourth appearance as guest speaker at the HCFA workshops. Peter has been fruit farming for over 20 years and is also a horticultural advisor. Peter will be explaining how to prune and support raspberries (summer and autumn), blackcurrants, gooseberries, loganberries, tayberries, blueberries and white/red currants. There are also examples of pests and diseases and Peter will be explaining the causes and appropriate remedy.

Guest speaker: Peter Clarke, Denham farmer and consultant for Western International Markets

Date: 26th November

Time: 2pm – 4pm – please note the revised time

Venue: Faggs Road allotments, Feltham - www.hcfa.org.uk/faggs-road-site
