Online Masterclass series: Year-Round Colour in Your Garden
Join host David Hurrion for a four-part series of online Masterclasses on creating a garden of colour and interest for every season.
When picturing a garden at its best, brimming with colour, many tend to think of the height of summer, but with the right planning and mixture of planting, you can extend interest into every season, so there's always something to admire and draw you into the garden.
To ensure you know how to make the most of your garden, we're running a four-part series of our popular online Masterclasses, on Year-Round Colour in Your Garden. Our spring session has now taken place (see below for information on On-Demand recording), we continue the series with Summer Colour, so you're armed with the knowledge and methods for creating a spectacular garden, no matter what the season. Whether you’re new to gardening or have well-seasoned green fingers, there’s always something to learn and our online masterclasses are the perfect way to pick up tips, hints and a huge raft of skills.
