About this Event

Create your own hardy containers – featuring our new range of Autumn & Winter colour


A light hearted and humorous workshop with Jacky about how simple it is to use evergreens, shrubs, ferns, grasses and other hardy plants with seasonal colours and bulbs to create autumn/winter colour in a container or basket.

The workshop begins with a demonstration and you then have the chance to create your own with our help.

Buy your container, pot or basket from the selection we have at the nurseries or bring your own from home. Often overlooked is the colour available to us through the winter. Most of the plants used in these baskets can be planted out into the garden when we are ready to refill our baskets in April/May.

Arrive at 10.15 am for 10.30 am start. The talk ends at 12 noon.

You may bring in a container or basket to refill or you are welcome to select and purchase a new container.

This is £10.00 non-refundable, non-transferable booking fee. You will only be charged for the materials you use such as plants you choose and compost.
