The first ever autumn RHS Chelsea Flower Show has come to an end however, we’re still reminiscing on the once in a lifetime event.

An abundant garlic harvest doesn’t take much expertise, even beginners can easily grow these nutritious homegrown treats which have a multitude of culinary uses!

Although it has been a beautiful start to September, we’re already starting to see the misty mornings and darker nights creeping in.

In July, we were lucky enough to be involved with the inspiring ‘Get Up and Grow’ garden designed Lucy Hutchings and Instagram Star 'She Grows Veg' at the RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival. Inspired by her new book, Get up and Grow – the garden was a dream come true for Lucy.

Hardy, durable and not particularly fussy, beetroot is ideal for both first-time and experienced gardeners.
