Floristry workshops and horticulture courses set in a garden designed by the Bannermans

12/01/2025

We were very honoured to be listed alongside so many very established and well-known centres of learning and excellence (see below) in The Telegraph today, for our courses. Our thanks goes out to and all the staff at The Telegraph involved in putting this feature together.

Our Planting Design course is new to our collection of useful and informative gardening courses held here in Dorset.
This course is being held over three separate days, in March, May and finishing in June when the garden here is at its best. Details are on our website - link in bio.

There are only 2 spaces left, so if you are interested in working on your planting schemes with , it would be wise not to delay booking your place on the Planting Design course.

In addition to this and for those who are not familiar with what we offer here, we also hold Rose Pruning courses, Scented Pelargoniums courses, Natural Structures and Stakes courses, aswell as a comprehensive gardening course ('Gardening through the Seasons' course) held over 6 sessions through the gardening year. Our Instagram and website gallery of photos shows examples of what a course at Dorset Walled Garden is like and what you might be able to expect from attending a course here.

Other courses mentioned were, for example:

A very happy morning spent together with Frances of discussing our mutual love of roses.
I am very much hoping to see Frances's beautiful collection of old roses again this summer. Always a treat and an utterly stunning garden to visit.

Happy New Year to all our followers and thank you for all your support on Instagram, visiting the garden and attending our courses. We wish you all a very happy and productive year in your garden!

Starting to think about editing the borders and picking out areas or plants that need changing round, lifted and divided etc. Quite a few photos of the garden on my iPad have lots of scribbles, arrows and notes on them, at this time of year! But it seems a shame to scribble on this photograph, taken by in June, when he came to photograph the roses for
I find it impossible to capture the borders, hence them rarely appearing on my feed. Thank you for this lovely photograph, Jonathon!

A lot of delphiniums were lost this year due to all the wet in our borders, but this purple (or would you say blue?!) delphinium survived, but only just, with only one spike from three plants! The slug population, like for everyone else this year, was unprecedented. I am hoping for a cold, dry winter ahead and I am sure you are too.

NB! Our Events are now available to book on our website and just to briefly summarise:

We have a very special 'Evening amongst the Roses' with Michael Marriott, who was Head Rosarian at David Austin for 35 years, in June, at prime roses time. Numbers will be limited so as to benefit from this informative, guided tour of the many roses here and all proceeds will go to the local charity, 'The Talk about Trust'. Entry by ticket only and bookable via the link in bio.

We now have dates for the next 'Gardening through the Seasons' course, a 5 day course (held between Sept 2024 and June 2025) led by Troy Scott Smith, Head Gardener at Sissinghurst NT, details of which are now on the website, link in bio. (This is the perfect course to become more hands on with planning, managing and/or seeing to all aspects of the garden. It has enabled current attendees of the course to be more confident, knowledgeable and capable in their own garden - or anyone else's for that matter! The practical demonstrations and lectures are both excellent.

We are excited to be launching a Planting Design course for the first time, also led by Troy Scott Smith, it will be held here over 3 days, in March, May and June 2025.

Our popular Scented Pelargoniums Day has only one space left! See link in bio.

Our regular Rose Pruning Workshop, where you are also given the chance to practise what you have learnt, is available to book for January 2025, prime rose pruning time, and you will no doubt be ordering more roses after Troy's very inspiring lecture!
