Designing your planting schemes can be a tricky process.
It involves many considerations and thoughts, alongside a good understanding of plants. It can make it a difficult task for untrained amateur gardeners, and green-fingered folk alike.
In this interesting talk, John will explain how to associate, group, and position plants in your garden, to get the best out of them, embracing different styles and pushing boundaries.
This time, his focus will be on Autumn planting: nature’s best time to plant.
He’ll go into depth about why now is good to plan and plant, how to prepare your garden and schemes for winter and spring, as well as;
Planting styles including English Garden, Cottage Garden, White Garden and more.
How to work with your space, taking into consideration your aspects; sun / shade, soil type, and surroundings.
How to deesign a garden, bed, or border that blooms and has visual interest all season.
How to create visual variation using height, colour and flowering times.
Plant considerations – what plants work / grow well together, stylistically, and practically. Which plants are easier to maintain for beginners or those who are busy, and which plants need more care and attention, for the more experienced, green-fingered folk.
