Amongst the Landshare Helpers is a network of "Veg Doctors" - people who can offer free advice on or offline to others who might be growing for the first time or looking to learn more.
1. sign up and post a listing as a Helper - Growers can then email you with their problems
2. answer Community Questions - this is a public forum where you can share your advice with the whole Landshare community
3. let your neighbours know you're a Veg Doctor by downloading our stickers and poster here:

1. browse the Listings to see Helpers in your local area and send them a message
2. post your problem in the Community Questions and draw upon the knowledge of hundreds of experts around the country
The National Trust, Garden Organic and The Royal Horticultural Society are supporting our Veg Doctor scheme by asking all their members to sign up to Landshare as Veg Doctors. With their help, the Landshare network of Veg Doctors could build to more than half a million experts all across the UK.

You need not be a member of any of these organisations to become a Veg Doctor on Landshare - you just need any experience in growing fruit and veg that you could share with others.

I am an enthusiastic and experienced fruit and veg grower and would be happy to share what I have learned so far. I am also a keen cook so if you need ideas for making the most of your produce in the kitchen, do let me know.
