Fancy a day at Gravetye Manor, Weds 1 July?

Posted:30 June 2013

Our popular ‘hands-on’ Summer School kicks off on Monday 1 July a week of behind the scenes gardening at three inspirational gardens and nurseries.

On Wednesday 3 July we’ll be heading over to the inspirational gardens at Gravetye Manor, home of the creative, innovative and revolutionary gardener William Robinson who from 1884 spent his remarkable life as a professional gardener and botanist.

Summer 2010 saw the appointment of Tom Coward as Head Gardener, his task to conserve and re-create Robinsons work while also progressing the garden in homage to his experimental style of gardening. Having worked for 3 years alongside Fergus Garrett at Great Dixter, Tom’s experience has proved second to none in tackling this project.

Suitable for all levels of horticultural knowledge and skills learn from, and work with, the experts as we talk to head gardeners and owners about their particular gardens or garden businesses.

Even if you haven’t signed up for the week, we have a few places left – so if you’d like to join us at Gravetye – please contact us ASAP!
