You would think that they would grow plants and vegetables in their 5 - 6 acre garden to serve in their restaurant, but no, they do it for the fun. As we headed over we saw people in deck chairs and our tutor told us that once the people had got up and cheered and shouted: "Thanks for the Food" and "You are the greatest chefs ever". This was not to be today, they were quiet,and relaxing in the sunshine. As we got into the garden,the gardener told us abou the asparagus that they had, and picked some of for us to eat raw! It takes 3 - 4 years before asparagus can be harvested.
Next, was the 'MicroGarden' as I called it. A Poly Tunnel filled with trays of 'Micro Salad', which are basically plants that haven't grown that much and are about 3cm tall. They are used for garnishes. We tried loads. Spicy ones, plain ones, tangy ones and loads more! I am now experimenting with my own!
Our Garden Expedition had come to a close. Please try the 'Micro' plant/sald and see if it works for you!
