🥕From the Plot 🥕 To celebrate homegrown fru 🥕From the Plot 🥕

To celebrate homegrown fruit & veg, Suttons has been talking to special growers who share their knowledge with others. Here are the highlights from our chat with @northern_horticulturist (link to full interview in bio).

👉 Meet Richard Bowman…

“I’ve always gardened. My grandad pushed me down to the veg patch in the wheelbarrow before I could walk, and so I’ve got him to thank for passing on his passion for plants. Now I’m a trained horticulturist, but gardening is so much more than my hobby and my job. It brings me joy and fulfilment like nothing else.

I love a cottage garden and, as I’ve recently moved into a lovely 18th century cottage, my favourite style is now my default setting! I’ve also just acquired an allotment so there’s lots of work to be done this year. I’m planning to grow on a totally organic basis.” 

Favourite thing to grow: 🌱Peas

“Peas have got to be my favourite crop to grow. Sadly, they never make it to the table – as soon as they’re ready, I can’t resist picking them to eat fresh from the pod.” 

Top Tip: 🥕Embrace your mistakes 

“My top tip for anyone who’s just getting into gardening is not to be put off by mistakes. Mistakes are there to learn from. Gardening is all about trial and error, and even the most experienced horticulturists sometimes get it wrong.” 

Proud moment: 🏆Best in Show Award 

“Last year (2024) I won two awards including the ‘People’s Choice’ and ‘Best in Show’ at Belvoir Castle Flower and Garden Show. My show garden was dedicated to the gardeners who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars and was inspired by a tin of newspaper obituaries found in my late Uncle’s potting shed. That’s got to be my gardening highlight so far, but I’m always delighted with every seedling that pops up. 

I have another show garden in the works, supported by Suttons - just waiting on confirmation from the RHS for my design. I'm also writing a few articles for horticultural magazines and journals, so watch this space…”
