This afternoon and evening, Charles Dowding will be our guest at the Gardens. This British gardener and author is known as a pioneer of the ‘no dig’ method: instead of digging the soil, you add organic material to improve soil structure. This is your chance to meet this inspiring gardener in person and learn how you can get started with this approach yourself. This event is organized by Groei & Bloei and the Utrecht University Botanic Gardens.
