Garden Talks:
| We are now available to give talks and
lectures to clubs and societies, including at group visits to our
garden.
Talks will be fully illustrated in colour and with plants (in season). We are developing a wide range of talks and at present we can offer the following topics: |
| "Feeling Hot,
Hot, Hot"
Ever since Christopher Lloyd ripped up his rose garden and planted a hot tropical scheme, gardeners have been divided on the use of hot colours in the garden. Some like it hot, whereas others don't want to get their fingers burnt. This talk takes a fresh look at creating heat in your garden through not just colour, but also shape and form; raising the temperature gradually from a mellow, relaxing warmth to a sizzling, flaming heat. The focus is on using hardy plants for hot effects. |
| "Heleniums:
Late Colour Not to be Sneezed At"
The Sneezeworts, Heleniums, are having a bit of a renaissance at the moment with the trend towards warmer autumns and naturalistic plantings. In our garden Heleniums are the mainstays of colour from July right into November. This talk covers the latest develops in Heleniums that have larger flowers, bushy and more compact plants right through to the towering giants of the border and how to grow them successfully and use them as part of the late, late show in the traditional border and the more modern natural settings. |

Beauty for More than a Day"
Take a guided tour around the wonderful world of Day Lilies! With over 50,000 varieties registers there's plenty to see. Fully illustrated with plants from our collection of over 300 types the talk covers
