Garden Masterclasses

A place to learn, to share, and to experience knowledge, skills and ideas in gardening and garden design

Garden Masterclasses aim to bring together gardeners and designers with some of the most innovative people in the gardening world through oneday workshops. Each workshop is organised around a specific topic, and designed to help students learn and practise. With quality catering, in garden or nursery venues, we hope that students will have a good day out too, meeting other passionate gardeners, and sharing experiences. 2018 workshop dates and venues: unless noted all days run from 10am-4.30pm
