COURSE OUTLINE

Based on one of her recent books, tracing the year from January to December at her home, Perch Hill, Sarah offers a complete and transporting account of a garden crafted over decades. Sharing the lessons learned from years of plant trials, she explains the methods that have worked for her, and shows you how to achieve a space that’s full of life and colour.

Colour and scent are the hallmarks of Sarah’s style - and they are simple luxuries that everyone can bring into their garden. On this day course, she will give you inspiration, planting ideas and expert advice for a beautiful garden all-year round. Sarah will show you her favourites of the hardworking varieties that make the garden sing.

Discover long-lasting, divinely scented tulips, roses that keep flowering through much of summer and well into autumn, the most magnificent dahlias and show-stopping alliums, as well as how to grow sweet peas up a teepee, take cuttings, and stop mildew in it’s tracks. This is passionate, life-enriching gardening; it’s also simple, adaptable and can work for you. Sarah has made the garden central to her life - this course shows you how you can too.

This course is taught by Sarah with assistance from Arthur Parkinson  and Caroline Nevile. It is a lecture with slides format, with some practical demos. You will get a course hand-out covering all the information Sarah teaches on the day.

The day lasts from 10.30 until 3.30 including tea/coffee on arrival, (from 10am for 10.30 prompt start) morning tea/coffee break and a simple 2 course lunch using recipes from Sarah’s cookbooks (cordial, not wine served with lunch….. we find people tend to fall asleep after lunch if we serve wine……..)
