Nick Bailey is a freelance horticulturalist, best-selling author, a regular presenter on BBC Gardeners’ World, garden designer and speaker.

His illustrated online talk will provide the audience with a fresh approach to designing and planting their gardens along with a host of tips on rejuvenating tired plants, lawns and patios.  This coupled with a wide range of recommended plants for difficult situations will ensure that there is ample take-home advice for all participants.  The talk will last for 45 minutes with additional time for questions.

This talk has been organised in association with the Dulwich Society’s gardens committee, with any surplus going towards Bell House’s wildlife pond.
