The Ruth Bancroft Garden

Calling all felt gardeners! In this virtual workshop with take-home kit, learn to make an assortment of felt succulents and flowers and design your own garden wreath. You’ll learn felt plant construction basics to create your favorite succulents and flowers, and we will bring in inspiration from the Garden to create your one of a kind piece.

When planning or planting a garden the first thing to consider are the large-scale plants such as trees and palms.  Tree and palm selection sets the tone for the entire design and helps determine all the other plantings.  In this workshop, we will look at how to select a tree/palm for both aesthetics and conditions. 

Let's discover some of the best plants from the summer dry regions south of the Equator. Australia and South Africa are biodiversity ht spots with arguably the most unusual and garden-worthy plants on the planet. This presentation will focus on the tried and true performers, the new releases and some rarities that have excelled at the Ruth Bancroft Garden.

Just in time for the holidays!   Learn the basics of making a festive dish garden and come away with a beautiful gift to give to someone you love (or keep one for yourself).  In addition to a complete dish garden kit that you will pick up at the Nursery, access a prerecorded virtual tutorial where we show you step-by-step how to assemble your dish garden.  Planting and learning from the comfort (and safety) of your home…it’s the best of both…
