Coastal gardening

Saturday 18th June 2016 10.30- 15.30

Do you have a garden near the sea? If so you’ll know that the wind and salt spray can be challenging to say the least! Spend the day with me at my coastal nursery and find out about which plants thrive in coastal conditions.

Learn how to create the best possible environment for your plants to flourish. We’ll look at which edible and decorative plants thrive and as well as looking at wind breaks, planting techniques, feeding, irrigation and weed suppression.

I’ll share with you my ideas on designing and planting coastal gardens and offer advice about your own garden (please do bring along plans and or photographs of your garden).

We will also visit my own coastal garden and take a short walk along the coast to see what's thriving on the cliff edge and beach. (Please let me know if you will need a lift from St Helens to Bembridge)

This course will be run at our Nursery at Fakenham Farm, Eddington Road, St Helens, PO331XS.

All materials, equipment and seed included but please bring your own gloves if you like to wear them.

£45.00 To reserve your place please call/text 07977 550050 or email [email protected]
