Backyard Forest Lockdown Livestream

Wednesday 29th July, 10am BST

Pt 8. Shrubs & Ground Cover

The final lecture of the free lockdown livestream series! We’ll say goodbye with a look at Shrubs and Ground Cover plants. Tips on propagation, planting and the best species to choose for your situation.

My mini-course is still free!

My not-so-new ‘Plan a Backyard Forest’ free online mini-course on Udemy has nearly 500 people signed up and a rating of 4.21 stars! Thank you to everyone who has left a review and feedback, it’s really appreciated. I will be updating the mini-course, with more practical examples, once I’ve finished making the full online course.
