Aka "Designing a Border from Scratch Part I"
This Talk is the first of a series of three. Each Talk has a different focus and is packed with enough information to stand on its own.
Part I is less 'Right Plant, Right Place' and more Design and Planning advice. It is a short course in the art of how to plan for a beautiful mixed border with some Designer tips and some warnings of common pitfalls to look out for along the way.
"Lucy’s talk was both inspirational and thought-provoking but above all practical on all levels as it covered many aspects of the process of designing a border from scratch. There was plenty of wisdom drawn upon and conveyed through the slides and conversation together with an excellent working knowledge of plants. Highly recommended." Chris Day, Buckingham Nurseries Garden Club
