Planting design workshop

This one-day design workshop introduces you to the how to design with plants in your own

garden.

What you will explore

We invite you to bring in photographs and information about your own garden project. We

will present a range of interesting planting design case studies to inspire you and explain

how the designer has tackled each project. Working as a group we will explore the planting

design challenges in your own garden and offer ideas to help you to select appropriate

plants and make interesting plant combinations suited to the conditions of your garden.

The day will be informal and relaxed. You are free to observe or get involved in the design

discussions.

We will provide all sketching materials, design inspiration and provide some useful

handouts for you to be able to go away and feel more confident to tackle your own planting

design.

Food and drink is available to purchase from The Craft House cafe throughout the day.
