Listen out for NTG's President Martin Ozanne and Guernsey Botanical Trust's Chairman Raymond Evison OBE VMH, RHS Vice-President, talk about the trusts' collaboration for NTG's heritage event on Tuesday 7th April at Saumarez Park. *Radio Guernsey after 11am tomorrow.*
The event focuses on Guernsey's historic tomato growing and export industry, starting with free entrance to the museum, which houses the outstanding and permanent showcase of Guernsey's tomato industry, created by Lloyd Robilliard and Peter Brehaut.
Take growing tomatoes to another level with GBT, as they are handing out free, carefully sourced heritage tomato seeds and advice, as part of their Guernsey Tom programme for 2015, which also involves a grow-your-own competition. GBT are selling home-made tomato soup and bread to keep out the cold – famous last words – we may have a heatwave!
Please come along and share your memories of the tomato industry before it's too late. 2015 see's a major effort from National Trust of Guernsey to collect and catalogue all facets of this industry.
More information over the next few days, to include NTG's Costume Exhibitions for 2015 and if you're a member of National Trust of Guernsey, this and much more, is all covered in The Trust's Newsletter which will be landing on your doormat within the next few days.
Tuesday 7th April at Saumarez Park is a day for people of all generations, to enjoy. If Guernsey's Tomato industry is part of your history, it's a special day for you.
