On July 17, we visited Downderry Nurseries to see their lavender farms. The day we visited, the nursery had just been filmed by the BBC for Gardner's World.

This year we returned to Plumpton College, the expanding and thriving home of East Sussex land-based education, for our AGM. The morning meeting included presentations with speakers on the theme of Sussex farming and the environment and included presentations by Sussex Wildlife Trust and Ben Taylor of Iford Farms (see below to download Powerpoint presentations).
