Garden enthusiasts are invited to masterclass sessions at the Yeo Valley Organic Garden.

The month-long celebration of Organic September at the six-and-a-half-acre Soil Association-certified garden will involve talks from influential speakers.

Speakers include Nicola Hope, holder of RHS master of horticulture and trustee of Garden Organic, Sally Morgan, editor of Organic Farming magazine, author David O’Carroll, Nigel Cox, and Richard Rickitt.

The topics for discussion range from edimentals, organic gardening, bees, and gardening for nature.

Named the September Specials, the series takes place in the ornamental Yeo Valley Organic Garden known for its edible plants in a seasonal patchwork, which evolved over three decades.

Sarah Mead, head gardener of the Yeo Valley Organic Garden and event organiser, said: "As a nation of gardeners, we could all be a bit kinder to our green spaces and organic principles can really help with this.

"In honour of Organic September, we’ve invited a wide range of speakers covering a feast of gardening topics so people can learn a lot from each of the sessions and showcase the joy gardening can bring."

Organic September is an important time for organic businesses to highlight the benefits of organic farming in supporting nature, wildlife and the world.

This year it coincides with Yeo Valley Organic's 30th birthday celebration.

Tickets for September Specials are £10 each plus booking fees, including garden entrance.

Sessions begin at 10.30am, running from September 6 to 14.

The garden shop and tearoom, which offers tea, coffee, light lunches, and cakes, will be open to visitors.
