DON’T MISS THE NEW HOLIDAY EDITION OF OUR HANDS-ON PLANTING EXPERIENCE, COMBINED WITH A DELICIOUS AFTERNOON TEA - TUES 16TH AND SAT 20TH JULY

You’ll start your 90-minute experience with the chance to relax and enjoy our traditional or luxury Afternoon Tea - 3 tiers of sweet and savoury treats, plus unlimited tea and coffee refills

One of our plant experts will host a Q&A and demo, taking inspiration from holiday-inspired, tropical plants that will bring colour to your garden, celebrating summer living

Learn all about our filler, thriller and spiller approach, using a mix of plants selected by our Senior Buyer, Claire, who features as a judge at RHS Chelsea. Plants will include Bracteantha, Canna Mango and Cordyline, plus a seasonal pot to suit your sunny, summer planting
