Tom Moggach is a gardener, food writer, teacher, author of The Urban Kitchen Gardener, founder of City Leaf – an organisation that trains people how to grow and cook with home-grown produce – and will be leading a talk at GROW this June about easy-to-grow edibles for small spaces.

In our quick-fire interview, we find out just how much time Tom spends thinking about food and he reveals the strangest thing he’s found in his garden…

Describe your garden/gardening style

The seaside-style garden outside Pentonville Prison, which sadly seems a touch neglected these days.

Grazing as I garden.

Which tool couldn’t you be without?
Bottle-top waterer.

A small toy rabbit.

Your lucky break?
It’s all hard graft!

Too many to mention.

When you’re in your garden, what do you spend most of your time doing?
Thinking about dinner.

Life is too short to stuff a mushroom.

Tom’s talk, Irresistible edibles for small spaces, will take place on Sunday 22 June at 3.30pm in the GROW London marquee.
