Garden Workshop: Plan the Perfect Garden Border

Want a professional touch to get your garden into full bloom? Does the planting in your garden run out of steam halfway through the season? Designing a garden full of plants that look attractive all year requires some forward planning, but this gardening and planting workshop will help you master it.

In this day-long workshop, you will learn the key tips and techniques that professionals use to keep gardens looking great all year round. You will then start the process of creating a planting plan with help from your hosts.

This workshop will focus on herbaceous perennials, the flowers that we rely on for months of colour in the border. At the end of the day, you will have completed your first planting plan and learned a straightforward method for doing the same thing for your own garden.

What to expect:

  • Learn about the best plants and techniques to have your garden blooming
  • All materials provided (but bring a notepad and pen)
  • Refreshments all day (but bring a packed lunch)

A well-worked-out planting plan will save you money, no more expensive mistakes, and will give you the joy of a flower-filled border for most of the year!
