These "Days in my Garden" are a great way to learn and practice the technical skills of gardening in a relaxed informal setting. If you’re a complete novice or already a seasoned gardener you can enjoy having a hand in shaping the beautiful walled garden at Doddington for its year round visitors. Join Rachel for these intimate gatherings of likeminded souls and a very practical day in the garden where you can work along side Rachel and get hands on with the seasonal happenings...explore the Spring, Summer and Autumn days below:
Spring : Wake up the Garden and Welcome the Spring - with spring there is plenty of seed sowing, propagating, preparing of beds along with friendships to be made, and lovely seasonal lunch to be enjoyed.
*fully booked*
Summer : Nurture and Reap - harvesting and feeding, mulching and nurturing is our focus for this summer session. Completing all those things needed to support the garden to make it safely and joyfully over the hill to autumn. At this time of year being productive amidst the abundance of the garden is balm for the soul and with friendships to be made, and a lovely summer lunch to be enjoyed it has all the makings of a perfect day.
Date: 19th July 2022
Autumn : Begin Again - at this time of year Rachel's focus is on keeping the garden going and growing past the winter. You will take seeds harvested in late summer and sow ready for the next year. Bulbs go in so that colour and life can come back early in true Spring and we harvest what the garden has to offer before Autumn sets in.
Date: 8th September 2022
Each day includes lunch and light refreshments. You can pick one or all the days. Numbers are limited to 4 spaces.
