Further Detail
Getting your garden to look great all year takes no more effort than any other type of garden. There are some simple techniques and principles to follow that enable this to happen naturally, making the most of Seasonal flowering and colouring rhythms. We will use the Garden Design choice card game to enable you to decide what is really important to you, and is fun and engaging. We will develop an outline design, sketch up the plan and begin the process of developing a planting plan. This will be a small group workshop with maximum one to one coaching and help with your beautiful garden design.
