Designing with plants

Head Gardener Fergus Garrett will lead this Study Day held at Great Dixter House and Gardens. Refreshments and lunch are included and we are offering a 10% discount on plant sales for attendees in the nursery on the day.

Learn how to combine plants using colour, shape, texture, repetition and balance. The aim is to bring you closer to designing your borders and associating plants with ease. Includes slides and talks, plus sessions in the garden.

The garden sessions will examine the use of tulips and other spring flowering plants when they are at their peak and include discussion on the next steps for the display and how the garden is gently moved into summer plantings. You will be taught how self sowers can be used to bind plantings together.
