With Landscape Architects Bridget Allen and Anna O’Sullivan, this workshop will focus on creating edible landscapes, increasing biodiversity and choosing the right plants based on soil type and location; you will then put your ideas into action as we guide you through the process of garden design.
You will be asked to supply us with the address of your garden at the booking stage; we will print off a plan view of your property, accessed from the public domain, Canterbury Maps. (Your address information will not be held).
You will take away inspiration, a custom design for you to action in your own backyard and a list of go-to organisations and projects for you to seek out and continue your learning.
