Gardening: Cuttings: Growing wise on gardening courses
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE new gardening courses that Mary-Anne Robb has arranged this spring at her home, Chisenbury Priory, near Pewsey in Wiltshire, cover the kinds of things she wishes she had known when she first started gardening. Monday 8 March is a spring pruning day, with a lecture in the morning and practical demonstrations (and practice) in the afternoon. Monday 15 March is seed day, with practice in mixing composts, sowing seed and thinning seedlings. There will be an afternoon lecture on plants to grow from seed.
Mrs Robb's own garden is a masterpiece of planning and planting, and the courses will be taken by Jamie Compton, writer, plant collector and former head gardener at the Chelsea Physic Garden.
The cost is pounds 40 for each day. For further details, contact Mary-Anne Robb (0980 70406).
