A talk on Gardening Naturally by Annette Hurt, Wednesday 23rd September 2026

Changing From Chemicals to Nature

Annette is an experienced RHS qualified gardener & horticulturist, Beekeeper, Grow Your Own specialist & trainer, based in the Norfolk Broad village of Filby.

She practices No Dig and natural gardening methods.

The focus of gardening these days is to use less chemicals, especially when growing your own fruit and vegetables. However:

• what do you do when aphids attack your plants, snails eat your broccoli or pigeons decide to strip your seedlings?

• how do you feed your plants effectively without the reliance on chemicals?

This talk focuses on using plants and natural fertilisers rather than shop bought products.

Annette will also talk about how to attract natural predators to your garden, companion planting and using non chemical forms of pest control.
