This gardening course is designed for absolute beginners and you will find out all you ever wanted to know about gardening - but were perhaps too embarrassed or afraid to ask.
Shelagh will cover a range of gardening topics to allow you to leave the course feeling confident & inspired to work in your own outdoor space.
Topics covered will include
Getting to know your space. Every space is different and needs to be treated differently
Selecting plants for your garden. Commonly referred to by gardeners as "the right plant for the right place"
The practicallities of creating & maintaining your outdoor space
We will explore the garden created over 20 years at Poplin Dub to gather ideas on successful planting combinations, practical layouts, how you use the garden to fulfil your individual needs and ultimately allow you to take away practical & creative ideas to use in your garden.
And finally you will leave the course discovering gardening is fun & rewarding.
