SPACE 2 GROW has been getting fruity in therapeutic gardens. Autumn is a good time to introduce fruit to the garden space. The pleasure of eating freshly plucked fruit or the benefit of turning it into jams and juices for sale or personal enjoyment is immense. Garden spaces can be so much more than just a visual aesthetic. Adding a small fruit tree such as a trained specimen – espalier, cordon,fan, or a small rootstock tree such as an M9 or M27 together with a mixture of soft fruits will hugely increase the diversity of the garden while producing a fruity crop that will bring financial reward.
