Forest Garden Livestream
Wednesday 3rd March, 10am GMT
Woodland/forest garden
This week, I’m showcasing a small and newly planted woodland garden, which has been planted up mostly with UK native wild flowers. I did manage to sneak a hosta and rhubarb in there as well though 😉
I’ll be sharing my site considerations and design thoughts, with a reveal of yet another spreadsheet, this time the nascent Wild Flower Spreadsheet.
There will be an informal Zoom chat afterwards at 10.30am, all welcome.
