Talk: Growing Succulents at Veronica Farm

Discover why succulents thrive in Scilly’s mild island climate with the team behind Scilly Succulents at Veronica Farm.

The family have been growing succulents on Bryher for more than 20 years, with many of their plants raised here at the farm, just metres from the Atlantic. What began as a passion soon grew into Scilly’s first mail-order succulent business after visitors began asking if they could take cuttings home.

Join the team for an informal introduction to these wonderfully varied plants, with practical advice on how to grow and care for succulents at home. Learn how to propagate new plants from your existing collection, discover which conditions help them flourish and pick up inspiration for creative ways to display them.

Whether you already have a windowsill full of succulents or are simply curious to find out more, it’s a relaxed opportunity to learn from people who have been growing them on Bryher for decades.

Thursdays at 2pm at Veronica Farm, Bryher. Free to attend.
