Free gardening workshop set to take place at Keston garden centre
A free gardening workshop is set to take place at a garden centre. Dobbies Garden Centres is hosting a free rose-themed Grow How workshop at its Keston store this June, sharing top tips for caring for this beloved flowering plant. The workshop, titled "Roses: From Pruning to Planting," is designed for people of all ages and abilities. It will take place on the first Saturday and Wednesday of the month. The Grow How workshop at the Keston store will cover the different varieties of roses available and advice on picking the perfect one for your garden space. With more than 250 varieties to choose from at Dobbies, there are plenty of options to suit a garden or outdoor space – from modern shrub and English roses to bush roses, rambling roses, and climbing roses. Various factors can help when choosing the right rose, like the amount of sunshine the plant might need to flourish and how much maintenance they'll need. Also covered in the session will be some rose planting basics, covering the different kinds of pots and planters, potting mix, mulch, and rose feed to keep the plant well-fed. Dobbies' Green Team will then go over pruning, why it is important, and essential tools before demonstrating how to deadhead roses. Attendees at the Keston store will then get the chance to give it a go themselves, learning practical gardening skills. Cutting back roses is a vital part of caring for the plant and can be done during the early summer months to encourage healthy growth of new blooms. Attendees will get the opportunity to ask any rose-care questions and talk through current challenges with their existing roses during an informal Q&A session. Spaces are limited and booking is required at Dobbies' Keston store, visit the website to reserve a spot Dobbies' plant buyer, Nigel Lawton, is excited for June's Grow How workshop on roses at the Keston store.

"There are so many wonderful varieties, perfect for any outdoor space. "We're excited to help demonstrate some simple planting and pruning tips to help gardeners in Keston enjoy these popular flowers throughout the summer months and into autumn."
