Join us for a truly special Meadow Gardening Study Day at Great Dixter House & Gardens
Led by Head Gardener Fergus Garrett, this day offers the opportunity look closely at the beauty, complexity, and importance of wildflower meadows.
Using the remarkable Great Dixter meadows as a living classroom, Fergus will guide participants through the art of observing and assessing grassland — learning how simply by looking closely at different patches of meadow, you can begin to understand what they need and how they should be managed to encourage greater floral diversity and ecological richness
Through lectures including 35 years of experience observing this habitat you will gain a deeper understanding of the rhythms of meadow management and the extraordinary diversity that can emerge with thoughtful care.
Visiting at the peak of orchid flowering season makes this an especially magical time to experience the meadows in a place that blurs the edges of wild and cultivated.
The day includes refreshments and lunch served in the Great Hall, along with a 10% discount on plant sales in the nursery for attendees.
There are two dates available and just a few spaces remaining — we’d love for you to join us.
Dates:
1st of June
8th of June
Time: 10.00 am - 4.00 pm
