The Garden House, Brighton

Be inspired by ideas both new and traditional as you explore the use of colour in your garden. Consider new and vibrant planting combinations while focussing on the all-important skill of choosing and working with colour. Henry Macaulayand Max Crisfield, gardeners at Parham House and Gardens in West Sussex,will guide you as you look at colour, using annuals, perennials, bulbs,shrubs, and even vegetables to lift your planting. You'll also explorethe use of foliage and texture, giving you lots of ideas to start formulating your own planting schemes. The vital use of repetition and height in your displays will be discussed, as well as how to extend the season using late summer colour.  You'll also have a session looking at 'star' plants considering which plants will start todazzle just as your summer displays start to fade - the stand out cultivars and varieties which get noticed and rewardyou every time. 
Finally, you will work on creatinga mini-design / planting scheme for your own garden.

* Books, photographs, magazine cuttings of planting/colour combinations that appeal to you. * Notebook, pens, pencils, coloured pencils and a large sketchbook/pad for drawing up ideas
