Shelagh will  cover a range of gardening topics to allow you to leave the course feeling confident & inspired to work in your own outdoor space.

Topics covered will include

    Getting to know your space. Every space is different and needs to be treated differently
    Selecting plants for your garden. Commonly referred to by gardeners as “the right plant for the right place”
    The practicallities of creating & maintaining your outdoor space

 We will explore the garden created over 20 years at Poplin Dub to gather ideas on successful planting combinations, practical layouts, how you use the garden to fulfil your individual needs and ultimately allow you to take away practical & creative ideas to use in your garden.

And finally you will leave the course discovering gardening is fun & rewarding.

 Shelagh is widely known and highly respected throughout Cumbria's gardening fraternity. She has been both the familiar face, and  'lead' of Horticulture at Newton Rigg for well over 30 years, and we are thrilled to welcome her to our 2025 Quirky programme. She brings a wealth of gardening expertise and teaching experience, which over the years, will have gently inspired (literally) thousands of 'would-be gardeners’ to create and nurture their own individual outdoor spaces.
