Soft Fruit plants at Thompson & Morgan. A few soft fruit bushes can provide you with fresh home grown fruit during the summer. It’s an easy way of growing your own as soft fruit needs relatively little attention. Picking your own is easy and you can make delicious pies or jam!
I believe every garden should have a couple of fruit bushes or trees. It make sense when soft fruit is always so expensive in the shops!
