Organic Gardening

To look at the thriving gardens at CAT it is hard to imagine that 50 years ago the site was mostly bare slate waste. Hard work and a lot of compost has resulted in a variety of garden areas and vegetable patches.

We offer group visits and workshops, and sell many nature and growing books in our online shop.

Our display gardener Petra, gives her top tips for gardening on the wild side.
