The Royal Horticultural Society is the UK’s foremost gardening charity, helping and inspiring millions of people to garden. We do this at our gardens and shows and through our scientific research, publications, libraries and our education and community programmes.

RHS Garden Harlow Carr offers a wide range of workshops from pruning and propagation to art and photography, to inspire you and to enhance your knowledge of plants and gardens. Most courses include a practical element and are offered at a range of different levels of experience.

Harlow Carr offers the opportunity to learn alongside RHS horticulturists and experts in the fantastically resourced Bramall Learning Centre. This amazing building – one of the greenest in the country – has three classrooms, a library, teaching garden and glasshouse.

Our 2013 programme aims to provide horticultural sessions to suit everyone, whether you are just starting out with a garden or are already a confident horticulturist looking to broaden your skills base. Courses are delivered by experienced, external tutors and talented horticulturists from Harlow Carr’s gardening team. Where possible we aim to highlight current gardening practice at Harlow Carr, including cultivating alpines, producing stunning herbaceous borders and promoting biodiversity.

This year we have added to our range of garden craft workshops offering you the opportunity to learn charcoal making, to have a go at plant-dyeing wool and weaving, and to sew new projects using the garden as inspiration. We hope you find a course to match your needs and look forward to welcoming you to the garden in 2013.
