Learn how to grow armfuls of cut flowers and veg the easy way\, create flowery colour without chaos and turn your plot into a haven for wildlife. Thirty years of experience shared in one afternoon. \nThere are three aims that shape everything I teach\, and you’ll get plenty of each in this workshop. \nFirstly\, production. Whether it’s flowers\, salad\, herbs or vegetables\, abundance is one of the great joys of gardening. I’ll share what I’ve learnt on how to succeed the easy way – plus a bit of the science behind it. \nMy second aim is a garden filled with colour for as much of the year as possible. If you love a flowery show\, I’ll explain how to achieve that with style and beauty. I’ll give you my top tips and favourite planting combinations\, drawn from my landmark garden colour book (out next autumn) and hands-on trials and experimentation. \nAnd my final aim is to enhance nature and do everything I can to help biodiversity – from using local wood products to growing our own bird-feeding plants\, I’ve learnt plenty of lessons on supporting the wildlife around us. \nPlus tea\, coffee and cake on arrival. \nItiniery\n1:45pm – 2:00pm – Arrival\n2:00pm – 3:00pm – Sarah will share the principles behind planting for abundance: how to plan and plant so your garden gives you colour and harvest for as much of the year as possible.\n3:00pm – 3:20pm – Tea\, coffee and homemade treat.\n3:20pm – 4:00pm – Sarah continues with plant choices\, growing tips and advice\, and a hands-on demonstration to bring it all to life.\n4:00pm – 4:20pm – Your chance to ask Sarah anything about the afternoon’s topics.\n4:20pm – 4:50pm – Josie Lewis\, Perch Hill’s head gardener\, will show you how to take cuttings and plant up pots and borders for maximum impact.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Sarah Raven and Adam Nicolson
DESCRIPTION:Join Sarah Raven and Adam Nicolson for a rare evening together\, sharing the inside story of two remarkable gardens – Sissinghurst Castle and Perch Hill – and the family\, ideas and history that connect them. \nAdam grew up at Sissinghurst with his grandparents\, Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson. Vita was a celebrated writer and the creative force behind one of England’s most influential gardens; Harold an MP and writer who gave the garden its enduring structure. \nAdam and Sarah returned to Sissinghurst in 2004 with their young family\, while just a few miles away Sarah continued to create the world-famous garden at Perch Hill. \nTogether\, Sarah and Adam will explore these two very different places: Sissinghurst\, steeped in memory and nostalgia\, and Perch Hill\, colourful\, experimental and always looking forward. \nThrough their personal stories\, you’ll discover how each garden has evolved\, the people and ideas that have shaped them\, and what gardens can give us in return. \nThere will be a Sarah Raven pop-up shop\, book signing and Q&A. \nPlus all visitors will get private access to the Howard Hodgkin: In a Public Garden exhibition before the event. \nBook your place now on the Sarah Raven website – via the Book Now button

SUMMARY:Take a Closer Look: Howard Hodgkin
DESCRIPTION:Join a Curator from The Amelia for a short guided tour of the current temporary exhibition Howard Hodgkin: In a Public Garden. Whether you already know the works of Howard Hodgkin\, or are curious to learn more\, join us to take a closer look. \nThis autumn\, The Amelia Scott presents Howard Hodgkin: In a Public Garden\, a critically acclaimed exhibition bringing together more than 30 prints spanning five decades of the artist’s career\, from 1966 to 2016. \nOriginally developed by Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery\, this landmark exhibition showcases the work of Howard Hodgkin\, whose vivid use of colour\, expressive brushwork and deeply personal approach to abstraction made him one of Britain’s most distinctive post-war artists. \nFeaturing bold\, gestural compositions that explore memory\, emotion and place\, the exhibition immerses visitors in Hodgkin’s unique visual world. The selected prints reveal the important role printmaking played throughout his practice and demonstrate his extraordinary ability to transform fleeting experiences into powerful images. \nHoward Hodgkin: In a Public Garden\, a Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery Touring Exhibition.  \nImage credit: Howard Hodgkin\, Palm and Window 1990-1991 (detail) – © 2026 The Estate of Howard Hodgkin.
