The Kaleidoscope Garden with Sarah Raven - NEW COURSE

Sarah and the team in the Perch Hill garden work with 4 garden palettes which between them include every colour, but keep them mainly seperate to create harmonious and beautiful combinations wherever you look.

In this morning with Sarah she will take you through what colours make up each of the four palettes and which are the best possible plants to give you your chosen palette right through the growing year. Based on four different garden areas at Perch Hill, Sarah will explain which hold the colour baton in a perfect flower succession relay race so your garden never needs to take a colour and flower drip from March until November.
