Event Details
Shrubs are more than just hard working structure plants. By choosing the right combination of shape, colour and texture, a group of shrubs can be mellow, uplifting, calming or indulgent. You can create any style from country garden to contemporary urban courtyard, from seaside cottage to tropical paradise
Most of us choose our plants on their individual merits; too often their appearance at time of purchase. Few think about how one shrub works in association with its partners. The Creative Shrub Garden shows how to make simple, effective planting combinations whatever the size of your garden or the situation
We are a conservation charity working to protect the county's many historic parks and gardens for future generations.
We work with garden owners and local and national bodies to highlight, protect and encourage the conservation and restoration of designed landscapes, ranging from stately homes to public parks, cottage gardens to cemeteries. Principally funded by over 500 members, we run visits, lectures and events where members can share their interest and knowledge in a sociable atmosphere.
Through its research and recording programme, the Trust undertakes and supports research on sites of historic interest, including sites that the Trust has rediscovered, as well as on other related topics. We share knowledge through our Journal and also seek to inspire the gardeners of the future through imaginative projects with schools.
