THE WINTER WORKSHOPS
THE LIVING GARDEN
SUNDAYS 21 & 28 NOVEMBER
THE LIVING GARDEN presents two fun and vital winter workshops, as we prepare to ready our gardens for the colder weather and attention turns to the festive season.
Each workshop takes place on a Sunday in the Spode Rose Garden and is part of the Arts Council funded Living Garden project, curated by Anna Francis in collaboration with the Friends of Spode Rose Garden and supported by AirSpace Gallery. Please see the info below and the link for your tickets.
WINTER WORKSHOP 1
WINTER PRUNING WORKSHOP
Sunday, 21st November – 11am – 1pm
BOOK YOUR TICKETS
The Spode Rose Garden group is pleased to partner with Zdenek Valkoun-Walker, Head Gardener at Dorothy Clive Garden, on a special Winter Pruning Session. In this hands-on session Zdenek will talk through the theory and provide a practical demonstration on how to correctly prune roses, fruit trees and wysteria, before supporting the group in a practical pruning activity in the Spode Rose Garden.
This is a free workshop, but places are limited.
Refreshments will be provided, but please bring your own tools (secateurs), and gloves, and wrap up for the Early Winter weather.
About Dorothy Clive Gardens: Located in the woodland quarter of Staffordshire close to both the Shropshire and the Cheshire borders, The Dorothy Clive Garden has delights and surprises whatever the season. The garden was first developed by Colonel Harry Clive in 1940, to provide his ailing wife – Dorothy – with a ‘series of interesting walks’ as she battled with Parkinson’s disease.

The Spode Rose Garden group is pleased to invite our friends and followers to join us in the garden, for the final workshop of the year, delivered with Louise and Mark from Stockton Brook Studios.
