A Year Full of Flowers with Sarah Raven at Oxleaze Barn

On this day course, Sarah will give you inspiration, planting ideas and expert advice for a beautiful garden all year round. She will show you her favourites of the hardworking varieties that make the garden sing. Based on one of her latest books, tracing the year from January to December at her home, Perch Hill, Sarah offers a complete and transporting account of a garden crafted over decades. Sharing the lessons learned from years of plant trials, she explains the methods that have worked for her, and shows you how to achieve a space that's full of life and colour.

Discover long-lasting, divinely scented tulips, roses that keep flowering through much of summer and well into autumn, the most magnificent dahlias and show-stopping alliums, as well as how to grow sweet peas up a teepee, take cuttings, and stop mildew in its tracks. This is passionate, life-enriching gardening; it's also simple, adaptable and can work for you. Sarah has made the garden central to her life - this course shows you how you can too.

This course is taught by Sarah Raven. It is a lecture with slides format, with some practical demos. You will also get a course hand-out covering all the information taught on the day. It is held at Oxleaze Barn, Filkins, Lechlade GL7 3RB

The day lasts from 10.30am till 3.30pm including tea/coffee on arrival, (from 10am for 10.30am prompt start) morning tea/coffee break and a simple 2 course lunch using recipes from Sarah's cookbooks (cordial, not wine served with lunch..... we find people tend to fall asleep after lunch if we serve wine........)
