Many of us are gardening in difficult soil conditions and poor, chalky or sandy soil can make it challenging for plants to thrive.
Multi award winning garden designer Juliet Sargeant has a wealth of experience to share to help you to manage and improve your soil, and also which plants to choose for the conditions you have.
In her engaging talk, she will cover....
– What makes for a poor, chalk, or sandy soil?
– A brief guide to understanding your soil structure and composition.
– How to improve your poor chalky or sandy soils and manage it going forward.
– Juliet’s favourite thriving plants for poor chalky or sandy soils.
Talk tickets include a 20% OFF PLANTS voucher for use at Old Barn on the day.
Plus! If you book a combined ticket for both this talk and our afternoon talk "The Windy or Coastal Garden Survival Guide" from 1-2.30pm, not only will you get a discounted rate, you will also get a complimentary sandwich lunch in the break.
Come and join us and boost your gardening know-how!
