OTHER DATES BY ARRANGEMENT

Garden Know-How Experiences
The programme runs from February to November. This will inspire and give you confidence in all your gardening exploits. Fun and informative sessions, which will help you learn, so that you can fully enjoy time in your own garden.

“We thoroughly enjoyed our Garden Know-How Experience with Laura. The session was informative and fun with ample opportunity for questions and answers and a tour of Laura’s lovely garden. If that wasn’t enough the coffee and homemade cakes were delicious too.” K&J, Surrey

“Laura gave us a warm welcome with tea and cake in a friendly and informal setting. After getting to know the other participants and a ‘brainstorming’ session about gardening for wildlife, we had a tour of her beautiful garden. She has ingeniously managed to combine plants and habitats to suit many different sorts of wildlife while maintaining a very attractive space for people too! I left feeling encouraged and inspired!” CK, Horley
