For the first time in more than two years, the Southeast England Soil Discussion Group (SEESOIL) are meeting face-to-face! Join SEESOIL for this long-awaited opportunity at their regional meeting, Climate change and land use in the UK, and the growth of Viticulture.
Taking place on Monday 6 June from 10am to 3.30pm, the SEESOIL committee would like to welcome you to Gusbourne, a beautiful vineyard estate in Ashford, Kent.

Gusbourne lets nature be their guide – working with the land and encouraging biodiversity through complementary planting and sustainable practices. This down-to-earth philosophy, combined with constant innovation, means their vineyards are alive with superior grapes, native flora and fauna and plenty of birdsong.
The SEESOIL regional meeting is open to both members and non-members. Including lunch, wine tasting and a tour, the cost for members is £20 and £30 for non-members.
