What Else is Helpful?
Where Plews Gardening Workshops take place & what you need to bring
- There are steps as the garden is on a hillside
- Most of the learning takes place under cover, either on the roofed verandah overlooking the garden or ‘properly’ inside. However, part of certain workshops may be out in the garden itself
- Do wear appropriate clothing & footwear
- Hands-on is important but there will be information leaflets & downloads with the key points too.
- We often run two workshops on the same day, on different topics, bring a packed lunch and help yourself to more hot drinks if you’re staying for both! (Yes there is a loo just for attendees)
