A fun, inspiring and knowledge packed weekend of pure planting joy, digging deep, literally and figuratively into the fundamentals of creating beautiful, robust and sustainable planting schemes.
This weekend workshop covers everything from what the differences are between an annual and a perennial, a tree and a shrub, to unearthing your own unique and authentic planting style.
We will look at planting styles down through the ages and back up to current trends including environmental concerns around provenance and sustainability along with Nialls own award winning brand and ethos of naturalistic planting.
Niall will also guide you on where to source specific plants for your planting project and how to efficiently implement your planting schemes, taking into consideration such things as your soil type, light levels and other climatic conditions.
