A blooming good time

A blooming good time In-Person

Plants are a wonderful addition to a home or office. The Royal Horticultural Society suggests, "that the greatest benefits of indoor plants are through wellbeing and productivity improvement." As well as being pleasant to look at.

Join us in the RSL to plant your own Corncockle plug. Corncockle was once common in meadows, has pretty flowers and is good for pollinators. At the session you'll plant the plug (young plant) in a pot, pack in compost and take away the plant with you. It can be kept in the pot or planted outside.

Rodger Caseby from the Botanical Gardens will lead the session and offer guidance on how to plant your Corncockle and other garden advice.

Book you place and enjoy the texture of fresh soil on your hands and the joy of a plant to bring home. Drop in anytime during the 2 hour slot.
