Soft Fruit
So many different types of fruit- Raspberries, Gooseberries, Blueberries and more... Growing soft fruit in your garden is beneficial, providing you with fresh, healthy and delicious produce
Raspberries
Raspberries are one of the easiest fruits to grow, they are hardy plants that produce sweet fruit and are suitable for most locations
Blueberries
Blueberries are great for growing in smaller gardens, they can be grown in the ground or in a container, using ericaceous compost because they need acidic soil
Blueberries are also ornamental, with pretty flowers in Spring and beautiful foliage in Autumn
Gooseberries
Gooseberries can grow up to 1.2m high and wide, either in the ground or in a container, even up a wall to save space
Plant in sun or partial shade, they should be pruned twice a year to keep them in good shape and maximise harvest
Strawberries
Available in single pots and strips.
Strawberry plants are easy to grow and once they are more established they are very low-maintenance, home-grown strawberries provide a healthy and a nutritious treat which can be used in desserts or jams.
