About The Tutor:
Anna Ribo divides her time between creating planting plans, advising on garden projects, and teaching planting and sketching. She was Head Gardener for 5 years at Long Barn – Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson’s first English garden, and now mainly gardens as part of garden restoration projects. Anna’s interest in horticulture started as a child when she grew up in the parklands of a neglected Danish Renaissance castle (sadly as she says, not her own!) amongst the ‘ghosts’ of topiary, Victorian glasshouses and magnificent borders, with the old gardener (and his antique tractor) as a grumpy, knowledgeable friend. Anna studied Fine Arts in Denmark, sharpening her sense of colour, shapes and instinct for making planting work visually. After living in London she re-found her roots and says she was lucky enough to be offered to retrain under our Work and Retrain as a Gardener (WRAG) Scheme on a beautiful, private Sussex estate. She is Royal Horticultural Society qualified at Hever Castle and has studied the Arts and Crafts of gardening at Great Dixter.
About This Talk:
In this session, we will look at choosing plants to encourage nature and wildlife. We will look at increasing diversity in both wilder and tidier areas of gardens, but also small changes to plant choices and practices that can make a big difference. And we will discuss a selection of plants to hopefully increase your planting palette. Time for questions will be included.
You might like to have a notepad and pen to hand.
