SUMMARY:Norfolk Farm Walk
DESCRIPTION:Norfolk Miscanthus farm walk  \n Date and time: 7th Sept\, 9:30 – 11:30 am \nGrower: Algy Garrod \nFormat: This free-to-attend farm walk will include some complimentary light refreshments\, a short\, informal presentation from Terravesta\, a chance to ask questions and a tour of the Miscanthus crop. \nJoin Terravesta to see how Miscanthus grower\, Algy Garrod\, is squaring off poorly performing fields with Miscanthus\, typically on the edges of fields. This has straightened them out\, taking out bits near hedges or bendy field margins and edges\, and has made them easier to manage. \n
