Bulbs, Border Design, Editing and Management Symposium

A practical, hands-on week at Great Dixter exploring bulbs and long-season border design.

This week-long symposium combines practical garden work with indoor sessions; the published outline says around 80% of the programme is outdoors and the group is limited to eight. Fergus Garrett leads lectures and workshops on bulb displays, groundcover, border assessment and editing, seasonal garden work, and nursery propagation. The programme runs 7–14 November; the published introduction is at 12:30 on 7 November. Accommodation in a private room at Flackley Ash Hotel, meals and daily transport between the hotel and Great Dixter are included; airport transfers are excluded. The event page states an £850 deposit, while the linked symposium PDF states £800; confirm deposit and payment terms with Great Dixter.
