The Bog Garden
With Timothy Walker
Tuesday 7th September 201010.15am-1.00pm
Most people agree that water adds an extra-sensory dimension to a garden but, additionally, as Timothy Walker will explain a whole host of different plants come into the equation. The talk originally titled ‘Boggary in the Garden’ will also embrace the building of ponds, in this instance based on the one at the Oxford Botanic, and the range of plants which can be introduced as a result. Anyone with ponds or streams or a boggy area in their garden will derive useful, practical information from this course and many new ideas.
£60 including lunch
