Planting a Beautiful, Low Maintenance Front Garden in 3 Simple Steps
By the end of this workshop, you'll walk away with a simple, personalized planting plan; one that brings scent, calm, and year round beauty to your front garden, without needing hours of maintenance or gardening experience.
Workshop registration closes soon
What can you expect?
ONE: cultivate calm
Follow carefully considered plant palettes from real, thoughtfully designed gardens, supported by a clear garden layout exemplar. With the decisions taken care of, you can create a welcoming, fragrant front garden that lifts your spirits each time you arrive home.
TWO: effortless beauty
Use the curated palettes to choose plants that suit your own garden, with its particular light, scale and character. Clear guidance for sun and shade, along with an intuitive, no-drawing-needed approach to arrangement, means your planting will continue to look good without demanding constant work.
THREE: no green thumb needed
Clear, tailored month-by-month maintenance guides show you exactly what to do and when for your chosen plants, keeping everything manageable and straightforward. Even if you’re new to gardening, you can care for your plants with confidence and ease.
15 minute Q&A
There will be time for questions at the end of the course
“It’s hard not to smile – hard to take your eyes off it! We really enjoy how many people stop to look at the front garden and comment to us on how fabulous it looks’’
Rune Bringgard, ladywell, london
“We appreciated the fact that you chose all of the plants and sourced such reliable plants as we don’t know much about plants! The front of the house is the first thing you see when you get home so having a beautiful garden there sets you up for your return home - the garden really makes our home feel complete.’’
DANIEL BAILEY, FOREST HILL, LONDON
“Catriona was my garden design tutor a few years ago. She created such an encouraging, positive environment in which to learn, enthusiastically sharing her extensive knowledge with us. By the end of the course I had a far greater understanding of all things related to plants, gardens and garden design. Thank you so much Catriona!’’
SUSIE CHALLEN, THE MOUNT, KENT
