About

Create your own border design with the backdrop of Arne Maynard’s own garden.

Head Gardener Dean Peckett and Creative Director Kristy Ramage will give a tour of the gardens and talk you through some of Arne’s most iconic planting schemes and border combinations.

This is a chance to ask questions about how Arne has laid out the garden at Allt-y-bela, considering the level changes, the underlying garden structure and the evolving planting choices for the different garden areas.

Before lunch, you will have a chance to explore the house with a drink and canapés, to gain an understanding of the important links between the inside and outside spaces and how to draw out and bring together the landscape, location and architectural style of a place.

In the afternoon, you will work on your own border design, creating a mood board and planting plan for your chosen area. Our day will finish with afternoon tea.

An absolute must for anyone with an interest in plants and garden design.
