Fergus Garrett 2025 EE lecture
When: Thu, 06-Mar-2025 01:30 pm
Where: Esquimalt Gorge Park Pavilion, Victoria, BC
The Hardy Plant Group of the Victoria Horticultural Society, brings Fergus Garrett to Victoria on the afternoon of Thursday, March 6, 2025 at the Esquimalt Gorge Park Pavilion.
Fergus will talk about "Designing with Plants" to Hardys and guests - connecting to the countryside, and how to combine plants using colour, shape, texture, repetition and punctuation, using Great Dixter and other gardens as examples.
More on Fergus:
Fergus, the CEO and Head Gardener at the legendary Great Dixter garden started by Christopher Lloyd, is the winner of numerous horticultural awards and honours in the UK, including The Victoria Medal of Honour from the Royal Horticultural Society in 2019.
Fergus has held the position of Head Gardener for the internationally acclaimed Great Dixter Garden in Northiam, East Sussex, UK since 1993: It was from the charismatic gardener and writer Christopher Lloyd (1921-2006) and his unique gardening skills that Fergus learnt to keep the gardens of Great Dixter constantly changing throughout the seasons and to be adventurous in trying out new plants and plant-combinations.
Fergus believes in passing on his knowledge and expertise through the national and
international student- and volunteer-programmes at Great Dixter and via the many
worldwide lectures he gives each year. He is a hands-on gardener and plantsman who has a keen interest in working practices. He is interested in ecology and how an ornamental garden and biodiversity interact. He is also keen on woodland management and green wood working.
