Patrick's Patch Workshops

We are sorry but due to Covid-19, we have cancelled Patrick's Patch Workshops.  Refunds have been given and we hope that we will be able to re-run next year.  If you have any queries, please email lisa@fairweathers.co.uk.  We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Patrick's Patch workshops start indoors with a coffee and gardening-talk in our comfortable outbuilding in Patrick’s Patch.

Rachel will share useful background gardening knowledge and plenty of tips from Patrick’s Patch.  Then there will be hands-on practical sessions out in the garden to make sure you’re equipped with the skills you need for successful gardening.  All workshops are suited to beginner or intermediate gardeners.

It is essential to pre-book as there is a maximum of 10 adults. Please book below.

The cost is £15 per person, which includes tea/coffee & biscuits on arrival and a 15% off voucher to have lunch in Steff’s Kitchen.  The workshops start at 10.30am and finish at 12.30pm.

If we do not have enough people to run the course successfully, we reserve the right for it to be cancelled and any money paid will be refunded.  Courses may only be refunded if cancelled 7 days in advance of the day.
