SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 2023 @ 12PM EST*
We're thrilled to welcome back Fergus Garrett, head gardener of Great Dixter!
Join us for this engaging webinar as Fergus explores the profound impact of "a sense of place" on your planting style, drawing from the iconic Great Dixter gardens.
Dive into plant combinations as he discusses what works, and what doesn't, with valuable insights to enhance your own garden.
Discover the significance of shapes, textures, foliage, repetition, and "full stops" in the border.
Fergus will also talk about experiments with color.

HOW OUR WEBINARS ARE DIFFERENT (& BETTER!)
Our fireside chat format is different from other webinars in that we have the opportunity to interject questions and have conversations about the topics. In addition to your virtual front-row seat with well-known gardening experts, you'll get:
- The ability to submit your questions and comments in the Q&A
- Show notes emailed to you the day before so you can print them out and jot down your own notes in the margins
- After the event, you'll receive a follow-up email with updated show notes and a link to the webinar recording, along with a wrap-up of ideas and comments submitted by attendees. We call this the "wisdom of the crowd"—and these crowds are avid gardeners who always contribute great ideas. Click here for a sample follow-up newsletter from a past webinar.
