Museum of East Dorset

This year the National Garden Scheme are working with the Museum of East Dorset on a garden lecture series which will run throughout the spring and summer months. The aim is to provide a number of talks which are of high interest, offer enough diversity in their content and are relevant to our local garden community within Dorset. Our first garden lecture in the series is by Paul Stickland, owner of Black Shed Flower Farm based at Blackmarsh Farm in Sherborne, which he set up with his wife Helen about 6 yrs ago. The talk will give a glimpse into their colourful lives and a brief history on how they accidentally became flower farmers and florists. It will include a full update on the broad varieties of speciality cut flowers and foliage that they grow and propagate throughout the seasons. There will be lots of tips and practical advice on growing the very best seasonal fresh and dried flowers, as well as unusual plants. For more information on Black Shed Flower Farm please visit their website: http://www.blackshed.flowers/blog. The Farm will open for the National Garden Scheme on 28th July and 25th August. There will be a further 2 lectures taking place at the Museum: Deans Court by Sir William Hanham on Friday 3rd May and Athelhampton House Gardens by Owen Davies & Sophy Robertson on Friday 5th July. Tickets for these lectures can be booked below.
