Inspirational writer and allotmenteer Olga returns to our Fest speaker line-up, sharing her knowledge, enthusiasm and tricks for a productive and pretty allotment. As anyone who has checked out her @lovely_plot accounts on X or Insta, will know, Olga is a breath of joyous fresh air and someone who loves colour and creativity.
She’s also a gardener who loves encouraging wildlife especially pollinators and will be trading in the Castle Courtyard with Husband Mark on their Black Dog Honey bees stand.
Selling a delicious range of honey, beeswax products and plants for pollinators, plus a display of live bees (safely behind glass!) their stand is a must see!
Catch up with Mark who is giving a guide to beekeeping and explaining the qualities of different types of honey in the Food , Drink Devon Pavilion on Friday and Saturday. Olga speaks on our main stage on Saturday.
