    Hedge cutting

Hedgecutting is an almost constant task at RHS Rosemoor, especially in the Formal Gardens, where there are metres of evergreen hedging including Ilex aquifolium 'J. C. Van Tol' and Buxus sempervirens, and other deciduous examples including hornbeam, Carpinus betulus. 

Find out about the maintenance routines for the hedges at RHS Rosemoor, including what to do when, the tools to use and any challenges to look out for.   

Please bring with you:
  • Your booking reference number
  • A notebook and pencil to make notes
  • Camera or mobile phone for photos if you wish
Please wear clothes and footwear suitable for the weather on the day. 

Tutor: Richard Wilson, RHS Garden Team
