Get tips from the experts

17:28 27th April 2010

British garden and greenhouse enthusiasts have been invited to tap into the minds of some horticultural experts.

The Eden Project is allowing visitors to speak to its staff about all aspects of growing throughout April and May.

Attendees can have a cup of tea with the site's gardeners at 14:30 BST on weekdays and 14:00 and 11:30 on weekends, when they will be able to ask questions about the goings on at the large greenhouse.

They will also be able to pick up some useful bespoke advice to take back to their own garden and perfect their skills by working in The Grow Zone workshops, which take place at 11:00 and 15:00.

Now is a great time to enjoy gardening as it is the next few months when green spaces look their best, explained temperate curator Rob Brett.

He added that growers should find The Eden Project and its many rare and wonderful plants inspirational.

Meanwhile, the Royal Horticultural Society's Garden Wisley has won Large Visitor Attraction of the Year in the 2010 Enjoy England Awards for Excellence.
