As winter fades, it’s time to prepare your garden, allotment, or container plants for the growing season ahead! Led by RHS and Great Dixter-trained gardener and garden designer Lauren Ware, this workshop will guide you through essential late-February tasks that set the stage for a productive and thriving spring. We’ll cover pruning winter-fruiting or ornamental shrubs, checking for pests and diseases, observing and managing wildlife habitats, and key steps to nurture your soil’s health and biodiversity. From revitalizing your soil with organic matter to managing overwintered plants, you'll learn practical techniques to support a vibrant and resilient garden.
We’ll also explore time-saving tips like which seeds to start indoors or preparing beds for direct sowing. Plus, discover small but impactful tasks that make spring gardening smoother and more enjoyable. Whether you’re growing vegetables, caring for perennials, or tending potted plants, this workshop is packed with advice to make the most of this transitional season. Join us for an inspiring afternoon of learning and planning!
