Planting Workshop:
Friday 2nd April 2027 10am-1pm
Friday 21st May 2027 10am-1pm
Thursday 24th June 2027 10am-1pm
Recreate two of our signature wooden planter boxes — one showcasing a classic alpine display and the other filled with lush, seasonal planting. This workshop is a refreshed version of one of our most popular events from previous years.
We’ll guide you through choosing and planting both alpine and perennial varieties in our custom-made wooden boxes, sharing tips and techniques you can use again at home. And of course, you’ll take both of your beautifully planted boxes home with you at the end.
All you need to do is make sure you have a love for plants, some good footwear and appropriate clothing for the day, and enjoy yourself. These workshops make for great times that are ideal as a gift or just treating yourself to a new experience with the perfect leaving gift for the garden. This is very much a hands on event so be prepared to get mucky!
Workshops will start at 10am and finish approximately 1-2pm, drinks made fresh and cakes from our local bakery will be supplied. Please specify any allergen requirements before coming.

I cannot rate this workshop highly enough. I learned so many tips and was guided by Luke on the right plant for the trough’s ultimate position, and each step of creating a wonderful little garden using Darcy and Everest’s top quality plants. Very friendly atmosphere and a good pace during which I was able to ask many questions. Thoroughly enjoyable plus the weather was amazing. Thanks again.

This workshop was a lovely way to spend a morning, very relaxing and informative. I thought it was excellent value for money making up 2 boxes, one for alpines and the other for perennials. The nursery very kindly let us take home the plants we didn’t use and as I had a 3rd box at home I make up another. They look lovely in situ.
