Rose pruning and care
Often even the most enthusiastic gardener is unsure when it comes to rose pruning. What rose have I got? How should I prune it? What tools should I use? How should I care for my Roses and reduce pest and disease? If you and your friends ask yourself this, let me help. I can provide an Educational Masterclass on Rose Pruning and care for you and your friends, in your garden with your roses.

Composting, leaf mould and wormeries
Using a garden’s waste products to feed and nourish the soil makes sense, yet so few people do this. Why?
Usually, it is not understanding how and when to do this. If you would rather not take your waste to the Tip, and then buy in compost or mulch, at great expense, from the Garden Centre, then invite me in to advise you and your friends on how, what and when to compost in your garden. See what a difference it can make!
As an Expert horticulturist, I am eager to encourage recycling in gardens. I’ll tell you all you need to know and tailor it specifically to your garden. Your invited friends will take what they learn back to their own gardens. They’ll love you for it.
Maximum number of guests: any

Items you will need: cardboard, newspaper, vegetable waste
