Talks, Demonstrations and Nursery tours.

For many years we have given talks to local garden clubs and horticultural societies. Ruth began this and together with her mother, Dorothy, has visited most village halls in Norfolk and a good few further afield too!

In more recent years Jonathan and Peter have been involved with these and it is now Peter who more often goes off for an evening to give a talk and show off some of our many digital images of clematis.

Peter has received many compliments for his talks and the photographs we have taken over the years. If you would like to book a date for your club, please telephone the nursery and speak to Peter, or you can e-mail the nursery. Due to the seasonal demands on Peter's time his talk season runs from September to the end of March each year.
Please see the Contact Us page for details.

Jonathan also lectures at Coton Manor Garden School and gives demonstrations of clematis-growing at the nursery.

Demonstrations

We run Pruning Demonstrations in February each year - see Pruning Demonstrations on the Events page for details.

Events are sometimes run for organisations or are open to the public. Details of any available events will be published on the Forthcoming Events Page.

Nursery tours

For many years we have run nursery tours for clubs, groups and societies, these have always been very popular and we continue to get requests for these each year. Tours include the nursery gardens with examples of the clematis growing in different habitats, the nursery production area and methods of production, exhibition plant area (those being produced for flower shows) and then the sales area.

Tours can be arranged with Peter or Gareth and are only available during normal nursery opening hours. Although the nursery has no tea room or cafe we are able to provide refreshments if requested and prices for your tour can be discussed depending on the content required.
