Getting the garden ready

Head Gardener Fergus Garrett will lead this Study Day held at Great Dixter House and
Gardens. Refreshments and lunch are included and we are offering a 10% discount on plant
sales for attendees in the Nursery on the day.

This look behind the scenes takes you through the preparation and planning involved
in getting a complex garden like Great Dixter ready through the winter for spring and
summer. It will include the garden timetable, composting and soil preparation, weeding,
thinning out of self-sowers, working off of boards, splitting, dividing and planting self-sowers,
timing of seed sowing and pricking out, choosing annuals for adding to the display and a
brief when and how to prune. All in all it’s an in depth ‘how to’.

Price: £160 per person
