E3 - Vallis Farm Farm, market garden, soon-to-be forest garden, and centre for learning Gardening Together - growing in a shared garden

On today's episode of "Gardening Together," we have a special guest, Tasmin Westbrook, the farm estate manager of a local farm just outside of Frome called Vallis Farm. Tasmin shares her inspiring journey  and some gardening tips and explains the farm's four main goals: Community, Education, Local Sustainable Food, and Biodiversity.
Community: Tasmin and the farm aim to create a strong sense of community by involving local residents and volunteers in various activities and events on the farm. 
Education: Education is a fundamental aspect of the farm's mission. Tasmin and the team offer educational programs for aprentices, schools, gardening enthusiasts, and anyone interested in learning about organic and sustainable farming techniques.
Local Sustainable Food: The farm is committed to producing high-quality, organic, and sustainable food for the local community. 
Biodiversity: Tasmin and the team actively work towards preserving and enhancing biodiversity on the farm. They implement practices that promote wildlife habitat, protect native plant species, and encourage pollinators to thrive in the area.
