    Workshop


During this RHS Garden Bridgewater workshop, we will look at a range of plants suitable for difficult places, full sun, shade and wet soil conditions, as well as hints and tips on how to get the perfect match between plant and garden situation. 

Learning how to assess your garden site is the first important step in finding the right home for your new plant so that it achieves its full foliage, flowering and fruiting potential.

With biodiversity at the core of horticultural best practice, we will also highlight plants which encourage wildlife into the garden, and maybe we can even convince you that some weeds can stay if they are in the right place.
