Grow Your Own Cutting Garden – A Workshop with Becky Crowley

Date: Saturday 13th September | Location: Raby Castle Gardens | Price: £65.75 per person

Join us for an inspiring half-day workshop with Becky Crowley, Raby’s Walled Garden Assistant Head Gardener, and learn how to design and grow your own ornamental cutting garden.

With experience at Chatsworth House, Floret Flower Farm (Washington State), and now at Raby Castle alongside designer Luciano Giubbilei, Becky brings a wealth of knowledge, creativity, and practical advice. Whether you’re growing in a large plot or a small urban space, she’ll guide you through thoughtful, seasonal approaches to cultivating your own flower-filled haven.

What you’ll learn:
– Planning a garden for both beauty and productivity
– How to design your space for a continuous supply of seasonal blooms
– Practical tasks for each season – what to do and when
– Organic principles for creating a healthy, life-filled garden

The session will include a presentation indoors, followed by a visit to our cutting garden and glasshouse to explore what’s growing and what tasks are happening now. There’ll also be plenty of time for your own questions.

Becky is passionate about sharing her experience and helping gardeners of all levels – from seasoned growers to absolute beginners – create vibrant, sustainable flower gardens they can enjoy all year round.

Spaces are limited – don’t miss this opportunity to learn from one of the best!
