The health benefits of connecting with plants are undeniable: not only are we breathing cleaner air, but research suggests that the more time we spend in the company of plants, the more resilient our mental health. On top of that, designing a garden that’s capable of growing our own food provides a sustainable alternative to supermarket reliance, and the rewards of cultivating green spaces using just a little bit of patience and imagination are plentiful.
No matter the size of your green corner of the world - or your budget - this afternoon masterclass packed with practical design skills led by landscape designer, Royal Horticultural Society ambassador and presenter on BBC’s Gardeners World, Adam Frost, will enable you to not only better understand your garden, but also empower your creativity to make the most of your garden now.
Doing away with complicated concepts and industry jargon, he will take you through the fun, innovative steps you can take to either spruce up your window box or redesign your entire garden. You will learn how to create a beautiful garden based on what you want most from your green space, using tools that are easy to get hold of - even in the current climate.
This family-friendly masterclass will equip you with a toolkit of practical design principles that unpacks the creative process, so you come away with renewed inspiration and invaluable advice on transforming your garden (or windowsill!) into an uplifting space that nourishes your body and mind.
Sink your hands into soil and reap the exciting rewards of your labours.
