How To Be A Gardener: October
Each month the head gardener will explore all the seasonal practical tasks to make your garden successful.
With a strong lean on gardening organically and with a sensitivity to nature. Each month the head gardener will hope to bring an understanding of the rhythm and changes that happen to the garden.
Plant selection and plant care will be an important part of each of the study days.
You’ll want to bring your notebook but otherwise we have all that you need (unless you have that favourite pair of secateurs you can’t be without). Lunch and refreshments are included.
If you’ve ever stood in your garden and wondered where to start and how to achieve the kind of garden that you want, then this is for you! We aim to strip away any fears and doubts you have about tackling your garden tasks and leave only the parts that make it such an endless pleasure.
Each day of the “How to Be a Gardener” series is designed to be enjoyed either as a standalone class or as part of a full through-the-seasons course, building up a set of skills to ready the keen gardener for everything that faces them throughout the year!
