River Cottage Gardening Tour - Explore Our Seasonal Kitchen Garden

Ever wondered what’s growing in the River Cottage garden? This summer, take a guided tour of our kitchen garden, polytunnels, and smallholding with Head Gardener Connor Reed.

You’ll explore one of the most picturesque spots in Devon and Dorset while learning about the seasonal produce making its way into our café and kitchen. It’s a rare chance to peek behind the scenes and discover what goes into growing the freshest organic veg we serve at our feasts and courses.

Connor will be on hand throughout the walk to answer all your gardening questions, from compost to companion planting, he’s got you covered. And if the tour leaves you itching to get your hands in the soil, our Get Growing course is the perfect next step. It’s a full day of practical advice and inspiration to help you start growing your own, no matter the size of your space.

Please note: the experience involves walking up and down a steep hill, so it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility.

    “Our chef teacher was enthusiastic, friendly and very helpful and informed. I love cooking and I really enjoyed myself. However long you’ve been cooking you can always learn new things and the dishes we made were all delicious.”
