Workshop | Design an Australian cottage garden (May 4th 2024)

Spend a morning with me in my garden learning how to master key principles of cottage garden design, and how to successfully apply them in an Australian setting.

Love the cottage garden aesthetic but think it’s impossible for an Australian garden? I have good news - it can absolutely be done, and I’ll show you how!

In this 1 1/2 hour masterclass, I’ll explain how to plan, plant and structure your dream garden from the ground up to make it a place that you love to spend time in. 

You’ll leave with fresh ideas to apply to your own garden, cuttings to propagate at home and a pack of my own homegrown cottage garden seeds to get your garden filled with blooms. 

You’ll learn:

• Where to start your design so you can nip feelings of overwhelm and decision paralysis in the bud

• How to create a garden that both mysterious and enticing

• How and where to add trees to your design

• Design techniques used by landscape architects to make gardens feel secluded and beautiful 

• What to plant (and where) for a garden with a natural, wild and inviting feel (that also attracts beneficial insects and local wildlife) 

Where:

At my garden in Cottesloe (you’ll receive the address in a confirmation email after purchasing your tickets)

When:

10am-11.30am on Saturday May 4th, 2024
