Spring Bulbs Masterclass - Tuesday 24th September 2024
Spring Bulbs Masterclass - Choosing, Planting, Growing & Achieving Colour & Interest from January to June
This masterclass, with renowned horticulturalist Marguerite Hughes, covers how to make the best use of spring bulbs in your garden, both in beds & borders & containers. There will be tips & recommendations on the best bulbs for different sites; how to effectively combine bulbs in mixed borders for successional flowering; information on scented & lesser known bulbs & choosing & planting bulbs. You will discover all you need to know to get the most from tulips & narcissus.
The workshop will include a practical session where Marguerite will plant up containers including a layered 'Lasagne Bulb Pot', Bulbs Pots for Early Flowering & a Scented Bulb Pot for Long Seasonal Interest.
Marguerite will also explain how to create a range of bulb pots & supply recipes so you can have a go at home.
The last 30 minutes of the session will allow for summary, round up & Q&A.
All you need to bring with you on the day is a notebook & pen. You will be given handouts relevant to the workshop to take home. There will be lots of opportunities during the day to handle materials referred to during the sessions. The workshop is very interactive and, at any point during the day, you can ask questions relating to your own gardens.
