Every Thursday, join RHS and Great Dixter-trained ecological horticulturalist Dr Lauren Ware for a 2-hour workshop on seasonal garden tasks and topics.

This week: Botany for Gardeners I — Plant adaptations & what they mean for gardeners

In the first of our monthly series on Botany for Gardeners, we’ll introduce plant adaptations: the mind-blowing strategies plants have learned to help them survive and thrive. A wander through the garden will get us up close and personal with leaf, stem, flower, seed, root, and growth habit adaptations, and how they can help the gardener and grower.
