If you’ve ever daydreamed about living the Good Life , or you have a little balcony that would be perfect for herbs, then get yourself down to Covent garden to their Spring Renaissance festival - 23 April - 18th May.

They have a lovely living allotment with working shed (as opposed to an ornamental one, I suppose) and experts on hand to give out advice, and also talks to inspire and inform, from honey history with tasting to foraging for food in the garden and composting with David Bellamy…

If all that seems to much like hard work the flower market has also returned to a corner of the garden where you can pick up not only flowers but already grown fruit and veg too.
