Brighten the quieter months with plants that bring colour, texture, fragrance and structure to the winter garden. This inspiring half-day workshop aimed at the beginner gardener explores a range of trees, shrubs and perennials that earn their place during the colder months, helping you create interest when much of the garden is at rest.

Through a combination of plant information, design ideas and practical seasonal advice, you will discover how to make the most of winter highlights, create lasting impact, and plan ahead for future seasons.
Esther will cover
  • Introduction to the season – key features of the winter garden
  • Classic plant choices for the season
  • Design choices – how do we help plants look their best?
  • Identifying how the relationship between plants will change as the season develops
  • Q&A – answering people’s questions about their own plants and gardens, and any tricky spots they may be trying to fill.
