Talk
Each morning opens with the season's subject — be it roses, sweet peas, soil, bulbs or fruit trees — explained plainly and simply with class notes to work from.

Gardening, together — one season at a time
Three ways to garden with Ailsa: join the four-month Garden Club, come to a one-off workshop, or host a morning in your own home. We work through my curated tasks side by side, so the overwhelm falls away and you learn to grow plants that are both usable and beautiful for your home.
Everything I grow has to be either useful or beautiful — ideally both.
With a background in garden design and horticulture, I've spent years finding simple, sustainable ways to bring the productivity and sensory joy of a garden into everyday life and your home. These workshops are where I share them.
Make
Then we get our hands involved : sowing, propagating, planting up and arranging. Everything is practical and repeatable at home.
Take home
You leave with something you made — it could be a pot, a herbal tea blend, or a centrepiece — plus coffee and home-made treats along the way.
Three ways to join in
Find the workshop for you
Whichever workshop you choose, the shape is the same: we talk through the seasonal subject, then make something to take away with you.
