About

Ever wondered how our floral displays come to life? Join our Head Gardener, Jan, for a behind-the-scenes look at the Cutting Garden.

In this informative 30-minute talk, Jan will share her expert knowledge on:

Choosing the best flower varieties for cutting
When and how to sow for success
Feeding, watering, and supporting healthy growth
Tips for harvesting blooms that last in the vase

Whether you're a gardener or just love beautiful flowers, this is a wonderful opportunity to learn how we grow, care for, and curate the blooms that brighten Sledmere throughout the seasons.
