About
Learn all about the wonderful Exotic Borders in the Sledmere Walled Garden.
Join Head Gardener Jan in The Walled Garden at Sledmere, where she’ll take an in-depth look at the plants used in our double Exotic Borders. Learn about the different plants used to create a tropical effect with late Summer and Autumn colour, and how we care for them throughout the seasons.
This is a chance to understand some of the behind-the-scenes work of the Sledmere Gardens Team.
The talk lasts approximately 30 minutes, plus time for questions.
Meet at the entrance to The Walled Garden, 5 minutes prior to the start of the talk.
