An increasing role for perennials in designed landscapes requires them to be chosen for long-term performance. This hands on workshop is aimed at helping landscape professionals to learn more about them as living materials and how they can be effectively selected and combined.
His 'New Perennial Garden' of 1994 helped launch the current wave of interest in naturalistic planting design. He followed up with a research doctorate in 2007 with the Landscape Department at Sheffield University.
Noel has published around 25 books including four with Dutch designer Piet Oudolf. A great interest in innovative ways of presenting information is central to his work – the 'Rabbit's Eye View' workshop is widely regarded as one of the most cutting-edge teaching experiences with both amateur and a variety of professional groups, and has been delivered in ten countries to date. Noel also teaches workshops within a sister organisation gardenmasterclass.org.
His current projects include consultancy work at a National Trust property and the planting for a major park regeneration project in Edinburgh.
Caroline will discuss methods of meadow creation and give tips on how to implement a successful scheme. She will explore the key principles that should be considered when specifying for meadow creation projects. This will give you practical guide on how to manage your meadow expectations and the realistic goals that can be achieved.
She also advises on ponds, orchards, conservation seed mixtures and other habitats that benefit wildlife in the wider landscape. In 2015 she helped set up Herefordshire Meadows with a group of meadow owners who are exploring techniques to restore and create meadows at field and garden scale. Caroline is an enthusiast for simple practical techniques that can be adapted to large and small projects.
This Landscape Masterclass will be held at the University of Bristol Botanic Gardens. The first new University Botanic garden to be created in nearly 40 years. 1.77 hectare of Gardens, planted in diverse displays, form an excellent base for this workshop.
The Botanic Gardens are located in Bristol, just off Durdham Downs, with clear signposts.
