Gardening in an exposed or windy situation can be a challenge, as can gardening by the coast, but it doesn’t have to be. Juliet will share her in-depth knowledge of designing and planting for a windy or seaside garden in this Garden Knowledge Boost Talk, filled with tips you can take away and use.
Boost your garden knowledge with professional tips from our horticulture & design experts.

Join us for just a morning ‘info-burst’ or relax into a whole day of learning with lunch to sustain you.
