COURSE OUTLINE
On this day course, Sarah offers a complete and transporting account of a garden crafted over decades. Based on one of her recent books, tracing the year from January to December at her home, Perch Hill, Sarah will share 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, scent and colour – all year round.
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 from chrysanthemums and stop mildew in its tracks.
This course does have a slight Christmas twist. After a quick practical demo in the afternoon, we will spend more time than usual demonstrating lovely abundant arrangements to decorate your house for Christmas, tips for forcing bulbs, and easy, wow-factor table decorations.
The day lasts from 10.30 till 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.
We have some lovely accommodation on site, just a stone’s throw from the main venue where you will be spending the day. If you’d like to make a trip out of it and spend a little more time with us at Gate Street follow this link to find out more.
