Find your Green Fingers with Red Letter Days

This is just one of a series of exclusive experiences that gives you access to a host of top gardening celebrities, only available from Red Letter Days.

Spend the day with Bob and learn the benefits of becoming an organic gardener. You’ll get first hand guidance on how to get started from the UK’s leading organic gardening guru, enjoy a tour of Ryton’s extensive organic show gardens and receive practical tips on everything from composting to companion planting. You’ll even have a chance to participate in your very own ‘gardeners’ question time’ as Bob hosts a Q&A session. The exclusive one-day experience costs just £99 per person and includes a superb organic buffet lunch.

With summer, and the promise of garden parties and BBQs just around the corner, is your garden in need of a complete makeover? Spend a day with celebrity garden designers Chris Beardshaw, The Flying Gardener, or Charlie Dimmock, from BBC’s Ground Force, and learn how to turn your garden into a stunning oasis.

Hosted at either Capel Manor, a stunning 1750s manor house and home to
London’s largest horticultural college, or the Birmingham Botanical Gardens, designed by JC Loudon and opened in 1832, you’ll spend the day exploring acres of beautiful gardens and getting first-hand design advice from Chris or Charlie. These exclusive one-day Red Letter Day experiences costs just £149 per person.

Once you’ve learned how to grow spectacular flowers, try your hand at turning them into stunning displays. Florist to the stars, Simon Lycett, has worked with Red Letter Days to offer a unique experience where you’ll learn how to create arrangements just like those he designs for the likes of Sir Elton John and HM the Queen.

Simon will provide a demonstration of floral design and then give you the chance to create your own arrangement under his expert tutelage – a once in a lifetime opportunity to pick up all the tricks of the trade from the very best teacher. The exclusive one-day Red letter Day experience costs £235 and takes place at the London Academy in Camberwell, London.

Places on all floristry course experiences are limited so book early to avoid disappointment. For more information and to book your Red Letter Day log on to www.redletterdays.co.uk. You can also view lots more experiences to learn skills for life at:
