Great Dixter’s gardens are a blend of history and horticultural brilliance. Now, Head Gardener Fergus Garrett offers a unique chance to explore its secrets. From October to June, this online symposium walks participants through the garden’s essential months. Whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned gardener, this event has something for everyone.
Inside the Great Dixter Gardening Calendar: October to June
The symposium isn’t just about gardening; it’s about transforming your space, no matter the size. Over seven months, Fergus Garrett breaks down the key tasks for each month. These pre-recorded lectures, coupled with live Q&A sessions, guide participants through autumn planning, winter prep, and spring execution.
October kicks off with redesigning spaces and clearing out the old. As the months roll on, you’ll learn to prioritise tasks and prepare for blooming success. In February, it’s all about sowing seeds and creating the framework for a thriving spring. By June, your garden could look like a page from a floral magazine—minus the effort of guessing what to do next.
Learn Practical Gardening Tips
What sets this symposium apart? Fergus Garrett’s hands-on expertise. He shares not just tasks but insights into why and when to tackle them. It’s like having a friendly garden coach reminding you what’s next on the to-do list.
You’ll get tips on editing your garden’s picture, deciding what stays, and what needs a makeover. Practical advice like when to prune or plant is presented in simple, actionable steps. Even better, live Q&A sessions let participants ask direct questions, making the experience more interactive.
Whether you’re tending a small balcony or a sprawling estate, the course ensures everyone walks away with ideas to apply. And though the booking is now closed, it’s worth keeping an eye on future events.
With a mix of humour, practical advice, and the charm of Great Dixter, this symposium isn’t just a class—it’s an experience. If you missed it this time, don’t worry. There’s always the next season to dig in!
