About this course

Learn how to create stunning gardens that are also very beneficial for wildlife.

Course Description

On this course, you will explore all aspects of wildlife gardening from plant choice, creating habitat, water saving and working in an environmentally friendly way, whilst still maintaining beautiful gardens.

The tutor will draw on her own experience of managing a historic garden, which, during lockdown, had a reduced staff of two covering 120 acres. She very quickly had to learn where to let go, and the lessons from this experience have changed the way she now manages the garden.
