Celebrate in style in our award-winning Castle Barn, with a blank canvas of soft red brick walls filled with arrow slits, enables you to personalise your wedding and decorate the barn in your unique style. It is truly the ultimate space in which to celebrate wedding receptions in style. A floating stretch tent over the terrace ensures ‘al fresco’ evening food all year round. The outdoor kitchen creates great theatre for all diners as the chefs cook over the fire pit and with the wood-fired oven.

There’s an enchanting choice of three stunning ceremony spaces; the picturesque parish Church of St. Nicholas, the idyllic Victorian Summerhouse embellished with an intricate hand-painted mural, perfect for outdoor weddings and the contemporary Garden Room with its walls of glass bi-fold doors allowing the outdoors in.

We are delighted that renowned garden designer, Tracy Foster, is returning to Stillingfleet Lodge to lead this workshop where you will learn how to create a planting plan for your garden.

If you want to give your garden a makeover, this is the course for you. Learn how to make a planting plan that will turn an ordinary garden into something unique.

During the session you will find out how to:

• measure up your plot
• assess the site and soil
• draw to scale
• develop you plan.

A planting plan is a detailed document or drawing that specifies the arrangement and layout of plants in a particular area, such as a garden, landscape, or outdoor space.

Tracy will be sharing her expertise and tips on plant selection, such as choosing the right plants for your site, and the quantity of plants you will need and how densely they will need to be planted for the effect you want. There will also be consideration of where to place each plant, for instance to provide focal points, and also the seasonality of the plants to give interest throughout the year.

Once you have developed your planting plan, you will be thinking about planting it up and hope that you will be inspired by the many plants we have for sale in our plant nursery.

Tracy is a Chelsea Gold Medal Winning garden designer who has been creating beautiful gardens in the north of England and elsewhere since 2002. She is perhaps best known for ‘The Bronte Garden’ which one her an RHS Gold and the People’s Choice Award at Chelsea in 2012. She was also a awarded an RHS Silver for her ‘Welcome to Yorkshire’ Garden in 2017.

All courses include entry to the garden plus welcome coffee and biscuits. Unless stated,  materials are provided and you will leave each workshop with plenty of reference information.
