With spring blossoming, food shops stuggling to keep up with demand, and most of us stuck at home, now is the time to get gardening!

In a continuation of Town is the Garden's aims to encourage more Huntly folk to reconnect with their inner gardener, our enthusiastic forager, forester and gardener John Sergison will be offering an online surgery for anyone with questions about growing.

For advice on soil and compost health, to lawn maintenance, pruning, plant and tree identification, the Garden Doctor can help! Discuss how best to use your available (indoor or outdoor) space for growing edible crops, or discover which natural fertilisers and pest controls could work for you.

To contact the Garden Doctor, send John a Whatsapp message on 07487 433356 in the first instance with an approximate note of what you'd like his help with. John will then reply to arrange a consultation by Whatsapp call or video call between Tuesday and Friday, 10-4pm.
