Whether you want to:
Sage Gardener can help
We help you learn about gardening and try to do this in a way that suits you best. We are not a large, formal college but small and flexible with gardening and learning at our heart. We support learning in many ways, for example, by:
• Providing learning materials
• Providing tutorial support
• Giving talks to garden clubs and other groups
• Providing help and advice to community garden projects and education initiatives.
Working in partnership with Doddington Hall, we are an Approved Royal Horticultural Society Centre so can help you prepare for their examinations. We also work in partnership with, and arrange guided visits to, other Lincolnshire gardens.
Details of what we are offering at a particular time can be found on the Courses or Potting Shed pages.
If you can’t see anything that matches your needs drop us an email and we will see if we can help.
Even if you are not interested in formal learning but want to know what’s going on in Lincoln gardens through the year then check out the Potting Shed. You will also find information about gardens to visit and local garden suppliers and trades people.
