2026–2027 Programme

Wednesday 23 September 2026 — Collecting seeds

Come and explore the gardens to find some treasures: flower and tree seeds. Learn how to find them, store them and get ready for spring.

Wednesday 28 October 2026 — Trees: bark and leaves

The garden is full of different species: let’s set off to discover them. Learn how to make leaf prints and preserve the leaves so you can recognise them in our local landscape or in your own garden.

Wednesday 25 November 2026 — Herbs

What smells lovely and, what’s more, enhances everyday cooking? Herbs. In the workshop garden, we’ll share a multi-sensory discovery.

Upcycling in the garden? How to make small decorations for the home or as gifts, in an eco-friendly spirit and for next to nothing.

Wednesday 20 January 2027 — Seed ribbons and seedlings

Winter is the time to prepare the garden, but spring will be here before you know it: it’s time to get the seedlings ready for a colourful summer.

Wednesday 24 February 2027 — Pruning plants

How can you encourage the growth of trees, shrubs and perennials? What should you cut back or leave to create a beautiful balance in the garden, or even in a pot? It’s never too early to learn how to prune.

Wednesday 24 March 2027 — Sowing the vegetable patch

Eating vegetables: we don’t always fancy them, but eating vegetables we’ve sown and nurtured ourselves? Then yes, please! Come and choose and prepare this season’s future meals.

Wednesday 21 April 2027 — Protecting your garden

Summer will be hot, and spring might be too: come and pick up some ideas for creating shelters for plants – and insects too. Not forgetting ways to protect plants from overly voracious insects.

Spring offers a wonderful variety of flowers: learn how to make a flower press to preserve them, remember their names or create frames and decorations.
