About this Event:

Fruit and vegetables are as much part of our history as castles and historic manors – but heritage varieties are disappearing fast. Toby Musgrave, a leading authority on garden history and design, tells the fascinating stories behind our rich food heritage and celebrates the work of growers who are rediscovering older varieties of fruit and vegetable. And he explains why older varieties often have significant advantages over the new.
Musgrave’s celebration of heritage fruit and vegetables is published in collaboration with the Royal Horticultural Society and features the sumptuous photography of Clay Perry. Musgrave is also the author of The Head Gardeners and Cottage Gardens.
