Description
About the Venue:
Sarsden Glebe is a Rectory garden and park designed by Humphrey Repton and his son George. Formal terraced garden around the house; woodland garden full of spring bulbs, mature oaks and many other ornamental trees. Old orchard now home to three pigs. Walled garden with box topiary hedging, espaliered fruit trees, tulip pots and greenhouse. Sarsden Glebe opens annually for the NGS and other events, and this is a wonderful opportunity to experience it in a smaller group setting.
About the Tutors & Workshop:
We look forward to welcoming you to Sarsden Glebe for a day of learning, inspiration, and practical gardening experience. Owners Rupert and (Working for Gardeners Trustee) Amanda, have worked hard to keep the box hedges healthy, and free from blight and box moth at Sarsden Glebe over the years.
The day will commence with a walk and talk on how Rupert and Amanda renovate box that has suffered box blight damage with examples of hedges and plants renovated in previous years. This will be followed by a hands-on Workshop in the garden. You will learn how Rupert and Amanda treat the hedges throughout the year for best health; how and when it is best to clip; and, if a plant is infected, how they restore it.
