Gardening in Coastal and Windswept locations.
FRIDAY 11TH APRIL 2014
Lecture by Charles Williams
Suitable for Complete Beginners, Ideal for All, with no prior experience necessary, however all garden lovers would benefit from this interesting lecture.The purpose of this lecture is to try to help solve the problem of exposure and avoid wasting time and energy planting things which are frankly unsuitable and therefore an expensive mistake. There is no one right answer to what is suitable in any particular garden but there are often a great many more wrong answers. There is also the need for patience while your planting gets established and good luck in avoiding the worst of the weather in the early years after planting.
Main subjects to be covered will be:-
- Fencing - the first line of defence
- Creating a shelter belt
- Putting it all together - the need to sacrifice plants
- Recommended plants
- Plants needed a bit more protection
- Useful climbers
- Recommended bamboos
Coffee & Biscuits – 9.30
Lecture starts – 10am
Finish approx. – 1pm
Lunch is not included in the price but meals are available in the nursery cafe.
