“I was delighted to be approached to deliver this talk at The Church on the Green; it’s an excellent venue full of character and needs to be maintained for future generations. Put simply I very happy to help!” said Darren.
“My talk and demonstration aims to show you how household items can be used to help people garden, especially those gardening on a very tight budget.
“Gardening need not be expensive; with some simple tips it can be very cost effective and I think we all don’t mind saving money. The event will be packed with fun and laughter with full audience participation required.
“There’s lots of savings to be made and you will be amazed what you can do in the garden with teabags, an old bra and a pair of tights!”
