Friday 24th – The Cut Flower Garden
Have you ever wished you could grow more of your own cut flowers?
Whether you wish to develop a specific cut flower garden, or else want to grow more plants suitable for cutting within your garden borders, this is the workshop for you.
From choosing suitable flowers, whether annuals, perennials, bulbs or shrubs, Jan will take you through the different options and discuss the pros and cons of each. There are a wide range of glorious blooms you can grow to suit your own garden conditions and we will investigate how best to grow your favourites to ensure a variety of colourful bouquets and posies throughout the seasons.
Only two places remaining… book quickly to avoid disappointment.
Booking essential. Places strictly limited to 6 people. Email janhoyland@btinternet.com for more details or to book your place.
