A Year Full of Pots is all about containers at Perch Hill Farm of which there are currently 380, huge, large and small

Together with Josie, head gardener at Perch hill, she tests and trials a great range of container plants year on year and has done now for 10 years. Sarah starts by taking you through her colour theory, moving onto recipes for pots for all times of year using her favourite container plant choices. Whether it’s with tulips and wallflowers in spring or dahlias, annuals and perennials for summer and autumn, the day is jam-packed with ideas for pots for any site and situation, grand or small, sun or shade. You’ll get it all.


  • This course is taught by Sarah Raven, with assistance from Josie Lewis. It is a lecture with slides format, with some practical demos. You will also get a detailed course hand-out covering all the information taught on the day

    • It is held at Thyme, Southrop Manor Estate, Gloucestershire, GL7 3NX. Nestled in the rolling Cotswold hills, Thyme is a 'Village within a Village'. The collection of restored historic buildings evoke a hamlet feel, enveloped by a series of classic country house gardens and orchards that supply flowers for the house, food for the kitchen, and herbs for the spa. At Thyme guests can stay in the botanically inspired bedrooms, dine in the restaurant situated in the old Ox Barn, or partake in classes and workshops from the Calendar of Happenings. Thyme is a place to slow down and reconnect with nature.

  • The day lasts from 9am until 3pm with a prompt 9:30am start, including tea/coffee on arrival, morning tea/coffee break and a 2 course garden menu lunch served in the Ox Barn at Thyme
