Working the garden the Great Dixter way: gardening from Oct 24 to June 25. An online symposium led by Fergus Garrett

An online symposium for people who aren’t able to come to Great Dixter in person. Led by Head Gardener Fergus Garrett, this Symposium has 7 one hour pre-recorded lectures, October, November, February, March, April, May, June. There will be an additional 4 one hour live Question and Answer sessions.

The aim of the course is to take participants through the gardening year during the intensive months of October to June. This is a critical time in the garden where you can get ahead and achieve much, redesigning, making adjustments and preparing for next year. In each session, Great Dixter’s Head Gardener Fergus Garrett, will outline work for the month, the timing of operations and how the work is prioritised.

This month-by-month series will focus on the practicalities of the work at Great Dixter, giving you an insight into how this garden functions. We will not only look at the practical tasks but also deal with how we analyse and edit the picture. This course is designed to break down the subject matter making it relevant to beginners as well as more experienced gardeners, in gardens large or small.
