About the course
Tired of overwatering and underwatering? Want to create an indoor oasis where your houseplants thrive and flourish? Join Glasshouse Senior Horticulturist Kathryn Bray on this one-day course, covering a diversity of house plant topics. From watering to pruning, repotting to pest control, this course will inform you how to grow plants indoors. Drawing inspiration from the display glasshouses at Cambridge University Botanic Garden, participants will tour a variety of growing conditions, exploring concepts covered in an introductory classroom session. Practical skills will be developed behind the scenes through repotting and propagation exercises. This will be a fun and interactive course covering tropical plants, orchids, succulents and cacti.
