Garden Centre offers free Grow How workshops on seasonal planting
AS the cooler days of Autumn are approaching, Dobbies Garden Centres is inviting families and gardening enthusiasts to its Southport store to gear up for a colourful spring with its free monthly Grow How sessions this September. Grow How provides a welcoming space for gardeners of all ages and skill levels to learn, share, and get growing.
The series of informal workshops will take place at Dobbies' Southport store on the 1st Saturday of the month, then every Wednesday throughout September 2024, at:- 10:30 am and 3:30 pm. The 15 minute demonstrations, led by Dobbies' friendly and knowledgeable colleagues, are packed with practical tips and engaging Q&A sessions, making them a perfect outing for anyone looking to learn more about gardening. September's workshop, Getting Ready for Spring, in September, is all about preparing for a burst of springtime colour as Dobbies takes delivery of over 6 million spring flowering bulbs across its stores. Participants will discover the best bulbs for Spring displays, including top picks for the season; vibrant Tulips, cheerful Daffodils, and delicate Crocuses. These flowers are not only easy to plant but also promise a stunning array of colours, perfect for brightening up any garden. Attendees at Dobbies' Southport store will learn how to create a beautiful bulb lasagne, a technique of layering different bulbs in one pot, ensuring a continuous bloom from early Spring into the Summer. This method is ideal for small spaces and adds a lovely splash of colour to patios and balconies. The workshops will also cover essential tips, such as choosing bulbs for cut flowers, selecting the best bulbs for pots, and understanding the proper planting depths to ensure healthy growth. Dobbies' Horti Manager, Simon Jefferey is looking forward to helping people to get out into their gardens during September in preparation for spring. He said:- "These Grow How sessions in our Southport store is a fantastic way for families to bond over gardening. We love seeing kids get involved, planting their 1st bulbs and eagerly awaiting the flowers. It's a great introduction to the joys of gardening, an opportunity to connect with nature and get inspired for the seasons ahead no matter your experience."
