  All Workshops include...
Being greeted by Jill Corrigan, the owner and creator of the garden
.

Jill Corrigan and her family have lived at the Garden House for 10 years. In that time Jill has, almost single-handedly, developed the garden into the wonderful setting it is today. The walled garden had been productive from Victorian times, latterly enjoying a renaissance as a market garden in the 1950s, but when Jill took it over it had become swamped by weeds and brambles. Visitors today will be amazed at the transformation, and delighted to see some of the plants that have survived from a previous era.

Two new areas in the garden are being developed to demonstrate "container and patio" gardening and "cottage garden" techniques.

Refreshments in what used to be the Victorian gardeners' bothy with Jill, and Tessa Allen your tutor.

Workshop with Tessa Allen, including a tour of the garden with Jill, demonstrations of techniques, an opportunity to 'have a go' and to ask questions.

All students will be given a printed handout outlining the information covered during each course.
