About the event
John and Åsa will be talking about the challenges and joys of growing plants and creating landscapes in unusual and innovative settings, from the famed Gravel Garden to experimenting with different substrates.
We’ll also be treated to a 'behind the scenes' tour of the nursery and propagation areas from Garden and Nursery Director David Ward, with the option to stay on later for an additional tour of the gardens themselves with Åsa. As ever there will be plenty of opportunities for questions, discussion, and just getting to know other YPS members!
Our mission is to aid the dissemination of propagation knowledge through the generations; to encourage more young horticulturalists into propagation and nursery roles; and to inspire learning of all areas of the natural world. We want everyone to be able to access these events and as such, tickets to this event are free. Places are limited to 30 people though so sign up quick! Lunch is not included but there will be a short midway break so bring your own or there is a great café on site.
