Lytchett Minster & Upton Gardening Club
In July, James Harper talked on ‘My Life in Watercress.’ We had no idea of the scale of the watercress industry, from growing and transporting it all over the world, to experiments at local hospitals with watercress drinks for cancer patients, which is achieving some good results.
