The course is tailored to keen gardeners and garden designers who want to elevate their planting design and take their designs to the next level.
Join us for an intensive 3-day planting design course with Nick Bailey, one of the UK’s leading plantsmen and garden designers. Nick is known for his interactive teaching style focusing on the art, science and craft of colour in the garden.
This course is aimed at keen gardeners and garden designers looking to evolve their approach to planting in their gardens or for clients. We’ll cover a range of dynamic approaches to planting design and you’ll be introduced to numerous plants you may never have considered growing. Nick will also share his wealth of experience in creating tailored plantings to suit a wide range of environments and styles coupled with recommendations for great nurseries and inspirational gardens to visit.
You will learn Nick’s techniques, plants and approaches behind his beautiful planting style. Discover a wide range of unusual and useful annuals, bulbs and exotics to enhance planting schemes. Explore the nature of genus loci and how to plant in tune with the wider landscape.
This is a 3 day course held at the Chelsea Physic Garden
A light lunch will be provided each day
