Take everything you've learnt and build a perennial garden in tune with the seasons - one that looks after itself, supports wildlife, and keeps giving back year after year.
From the Lesson Workbook
Farewell
I hope this course has given you plenty of inspiration and gardening tips, no matter your space or gardening level. You can fill any garden with colour, scent, and beauty that benefits you and the planet. These are backbone ideas for your garden to last for years to come, rather than a flash in the pan. And if you plant a rose this year, who knows? It may just outlive you.
