Gardening in Scotland: Principles and Practice

Gardening in Scotland: Principles and Practice

Date: Thursday 23rd and Friday 24th August, 2018.
Location: The National Trust for Scotland’s Pitmedden Garden, Ellon, Aberdeenshire, AB41 7PD.

This 2-day course will combine classroom-based learning with practical “hands-on” training to provide those attending with an understanding of the skills and techniques necessary in order to establish and maintain a garden in Scotland. The subjects to be addressed range from planning and designing a garden, through to the selection of plants, soil preparation and the development of a maintenance programme, as well as the effects on our gardens and the wider landscape resulting from the, now apparent, norm of unpredictable weather. The Course will be of immense value, not only to private individuals, maintaining or creating their own gardens, but also to those professionally involved in gardening and associated landscape projects.
