Reset Your Garden For Autumn
A calming seasonal gardening workshop for overwhelmed gardeners
Imagine you are enjoying your garden and not just seeing it as another job on the list of the endless tasks that you have to do
September is often when we look at the garden and realise just how much has happened over the summer.
The pots are tired. Things have gone wild. Some plants have finished flowering. There are jobs you’ve been meaning to get to for months.
And if you’re busy, it can feel as though the garden is constantly asking something of you.
But your garden shouldn’t just be another thing you have to keep on top of.
It should be somewhere you can sit with a cup of tea, let the children play, have friends over, or simply step outside at the end of a long day and breathe.
This workshop is about helping you get back to that.
You’ll learn how to:
- decide what needs doing now and what can wait
- cut back with confidence without stripping everything bare
- refresh tired containers with simple seasonal planting
- add colour and interest that carries you through the cooler months
- create more structure so the garden feels calmer and easier to manage
- make small changes now that will give you a better garden to enjoy next spring and summer
- work with your garden when you don’t have hours every weekend to spend on it
There will be plenty of practical demonstration and hands-on gardening, so you won’t just hear what to do — you’ll actually do it.
And we’ll talk about the bigger picture too: how to make your garden work better for your real life, whether that’s children running around, busy weekdays, weekends when you’d rather be doing something else, or simply wanting somewhere peaceful to sit.
This isn’t about creating a perfect garden.
It’s about creating a garden that feels manageable, enjoyable and like it belongs to you.
The workshop takes place in the relaxed atmosphere of the Rockbarton courtyard and includes:
- refreshments
- hands-on demonstrations
- practical seasonal guidance
- planting tips
- a small seasonal plant or seedling to bring home
Perfect for:
anyone wanting to reconnect with their garden after summer
beginner gardeners
overwhelmed gardeners
busy people wanting a calmer approach to gardening
Price: €75 per person
Location: Rockbarton Garden School V35FH29
Take a relaxing break with tea and homemade sweet treat
Come and give yourself a morning in the garden — not another morning working on it.
