Soft fruit and rhubarb - bushes, plants & vines
Soft fruit is expensive in the shops, so why not grow your own? Packed with vitamins and antioxidants, they're great for your health, most can be eaten raw or cooked in puddings, desserts, jams and sauces. They're great for wildlife too, their flowers attract pollinators and birds feast on the fruit. Netting may be required if you want to save some for yourself! Some fruit plants are easy to grow and suit smaller spaces and pots, others need a bit more space and care. Some are beautiful as well producing fruit. Choose thorn-free varieties for gardens with children.
