events & courses 

We offer a programme of horticulture and floral design courses, surrounded by the beautiful Dorset countryside.

 

The horticulture courses combine talks with practical demonstrations in the garden and in the greenhouse, perfect for building knowledge, based on the wide variety of plants here.

 

Hugely inspirational, the floral courses are dreamt up by our tutor who never fails to surprise, using flowers grown especially for his schemes, in the Walled Garden

" Simply wonderful day with Dorset Walled Garden in Dorset. There are summer days in England in June that are like a gift from heaven ~ the roses and the scent and the people and the place are just a dream ~ and today was such a day"

~ Written by @amandaseend, owner of the most beautiful garden, which opens in the summer in Seend, Wiltshire.
