Rosy Hardy '25 years of Chelsea'

Rosy Hardy's 25 Years of Chelsea

To celebrate 25 years of exhibiting at the world’s greatest flower show, Rosy wrote her first book,

Tracing her nursery’s modest origins in her back garden and selling at car boot sales, Rosy reflects on a quarter of a century of growing for Chelsea and some of the best plant combinations she has used to win prestigious Gold Medals at the show.

She also shares 80 of her top plants for problem places and reveals her secrets for colour combining. This handy volume is bound to become a well-thumbed reference.

Talks and workshops with Rosy Hardy 

 

Rosy Hardy talks

Spend a morning on the nursery with Rosy and learn about perennials or develop your propagation techniques.  These small, friendly sessions are aimed at novice and more experienced gardeners. There are sessions throughout the year. 

For her talks, Rosy picks her favourite early seasonal flowering perennials from the nursery and talks about their attributes - how best to grow them,  combine them with other plants to create great planting combinations and how to avoid common pitfalls. 

At a propagation workshop, Rosy's aim is to enable participants to confidently use their newly acquired skills at home in their own gardens, to increase their plant propagation success rates and enjoy the experience of being able to produce their own plants. 

Talks:  £22.50 per person

Propagation workshops: £85.00 per person includes a pair of ARS 300L fruit pruners along with materials and cuttings to take home
