A Year Full of Flowers: Gardening for all seasons with Sarah Raven at Perch Hill Farm

Colour and scent are the hallmarks of Sarah's style - and they are simple luxuries that everyone can bring into their garden. On this day course, she (with her Head Gardener Josie, who will teach the practical skills needed in the afternoon) will give you inspiration, planting ideas and expert advice for a beautiful garden all-year round. Sarah will show you her favourites of the hardworking varieties that make the garden sing. See all you've been taught come to life at Perch Hill, with plenty of time to privately explore the garden.

Based on one of her latest books, tracing the year from January to December at her home, Perch Hill, Sarah offers a complete and transporting account of a garden crafted over decades. Sharing the lessons learned from years of plant trials, she explains the methods that have worked for her, and shows you how to achieve a space that's full of life and colour.

Discover long-lasting, divinely scented tulips, roses that keep flowering through much of summer and well into autumn, the most magnificent dahlias and show-stopping alliums, as well as how to grow sweet peas up a teepee, take cuttings, and stop mildew in its tracks. This is passionate, life-enriching gardening; it's also simple, adaptable and can work for you. Sarah has made the garden central to her life - this course shows you how you can too.
