Get started creating a garden with nature at its heart at this late summer and autumn themed workshop.
New to gardening or keen to refresh or build on your skills? This workshop introduces how to create a garden that is both beautiful and provides space for nature.
Part of our series of seasonal workshops, this event will celebrate late summer and autumn gardening.
To start, our Wild About Gardens Officer will talk us through the basics of creating a wildlife-friendly garden, including:
We'll also have a look at what can be done over the autumn months.
Our Nature Parks & Gardens Development Officer will then take us out into the gardens at Tyland Barn to demonstrate the principles we've discussed in action and provide a tour of the garden's summer highlights.
This will be followed by a hands-on activity, such as sowing seeds, propagating or creating bug hotels to take home.
The first part of the workshop will take place indoors, before we head outside for the tour and activity. Please dress appropriately for both, and remember we'll be doing some planting- you may like to bring a pair of gardening gloves if you have them, or let us know if you're a complete beginner and would like to borrow a pair. We'll go ahead in most weathers, but may need to postpone in the case of a severe forecast.
