TALKS
Maureen is giving three talks this year at Holden Clough Nurseries
The first is Keep Your Garden Buzzing on Sunday, 31st May, 2.00pm to 3.30pm
If you want to know which plants to grow in your garden to attract and sustain insect pollinators - including all kinds of bees, butterflies and moths and other insects - this talk is for you.
Based on my latest book, and drawing on wide research, and my own experiences of gardening and beekeeping, Iwill share my knowledge about what type of plants best meet pollinators’ needs in this illustrated talk.
The price includes a copy of my latest book The Little Book of Plants for Pollinators: A Gardener’s Guide for you to keep.

The second is Culinary Herbs on Sunday, 14th June, 2.00pm to 3.30pm
Remember the song Scarborough Fair, with its mention of parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme? In this illustrated talk we’ll be discovering how to grow and use these, and a garden-ful of other herbs – from basil to winter savory – that we know are safe to use in cooking.
There will be recipe tastings, too!
The price includes a copy of my booklet The Little Booklet of Culinary Herbs for you to keep.
