Talks

We give talks on the following subjects to Garden Clubs and Societies.

Naturalistic Gardening (TF) The style incorporating grasses and perennials into the garden in a natural style. The structure and planting are covered with examples of successful gardens.

Gardening with Grasses (TF) Many people are unsure of what to do with grasses in the garden and they end up in a bed on their own, not the best way to use them. This talk will aid the selection of good garden grasses and suggest ways to include them in the garden.

Hardy Geraniums (JF) Favourites in the garden for many years there have been many new introductions in recent times and we present information on which ones are best in the garden and how to grow them.

Herbaceous Perennials (TF) A look at some of the newer introductions and their place in the garden. Will look at new versions of Cottage Garden Favourites as well as the rare and obscure species not well known, giving ideas on planting combinations and on choosing the right plants for your garden. We can also concentrate on Woodland Perennials if you wish.

All talks include a digital slide show and are usually between 1 and 2 hours long, they can be tailored to your group’s time frame. We provide the projection equipment and will bring plants for sale. Tables and a projector stand will be required.

Please contact us for details of our reasonable fees.

Group Visits (see also Opening Times)

Groups and Clubs are welcome to visit the nursery by prior appointment. This may be at times when we are not usually open. If you would like to combine one of our talks with a visit we can give the talk as we walk round the nursery, looking at real plants instead of slides. There is no charge for this. Please contact us to arrange a visit.
