Market Gardening in the Vale of Evesham

Just as David Attenborough might be considered a “national treasure”, so Terry Sparrow might be considered Badsey’s “treasure”.  Ninety years young, Terry spoke knowledgeably about the origin and development of market gardening in Badsey.  He began with how market gardening started initially in Evesham, then talked about the reasons for change in Badsey and the development of market gardening from the late 19th century and the resulting population increase.  His talk covered details of the crops grown, marketing and the growing of medicinal herbs in WW1.
