Garden design: Right plant, right place

Right plant, right place… we’ve all heard that before, right? But what does it mean and how can we achieve it in our own gardens? Join Paul Herrington for an informal, relaxed course covering the basics of garden design. You’ll go away with a greater understanding and appreciation of micro-climates, soil types, plant choices and planting styles. Importantly, you will develop a clear framework for how to apply all of this to your garden borders, whatever their size and wherever they may be.

NOTE: This is a core component of Paul’s longer garden design courses. So, if you’ve learned with Paul before, this shorter course might only be a refresher.

Paul Herrington is an RHS Chelsea Flower Show medal-winning garden designer with over two decades of experience who has worked in a range of private, public, commercial, and therapeutic gardens. Paul also runs Grow Places, a social enterprise that works in hospital and community gardens alongside people with mental and physical health problems.
