Annie Guilfoyle - What makes a great garden.

Join Annie during her first visit to New Zealand, for any of her three exciting workshops.

Keynote - What Makes a Great Garden?

Friday 8 November 6.30pm – 8.30pm

With a career spanning the globe and a vast amount of experience gathered along the way, Annie will discuss the key elements that are essential in creating a great garden. Delivered with her wholly relatable and enthusiastic charm and supplemented by a montage of beautiful images, Annie will offer detailed insight about what gives her the most inspiration in terms of people, places, and plants. From Annie’s travels and teaching she will share clever examples of gardens that in her opinion not only provide a sanctuary but are also sustainable and show how you can plan and plant for a changing climate. This Friday night presentation will enlighten and entertain you, boost your creativity, and satisfy your gardening soul!

Workshop talk - Creating Contemporary Small Gardens

Saturday 9 November 9.00am – 11.00am

Learn how to maximise the potential of a small garden or courtyard and increase your appreciation for the opportunities afforded by smaller spaces. Honing her skills when she was a guest designer on the BBC-TV’s Small Town Gardens, Annie has an advanced skillset brimming with useful ideas and solutions for any small garden space. Guided by Annie’s expertise during this Saturday morning talk, you too can learn to transform any tiny garden space into a contemporary urban sanctuary!

Practical workshop - Using Concepts in Design
(Limited to 30 places)

Friday 8 November 9.00am – 12.00pm

For 18 years Annie was the Director of Garden Design at KLC School of Design at Hampton Court Palace, Surrey, where she was instrumental in establishing the highly acclaimed garden design courses. Many of Annie’s students have gone on to become successful, award-winning designers such as Matthew Childs and Marie-Louise Agius.

With her signature warmth and natural teaching style, Annie will run a hands-on workshop where you will explore concepts and how to employ them in the early stages of a design project. Be intimately guided by Annie in this limited numbers workshop and learn how to use concepts to enrich and improve your design aspirations. This Friday morning workshop is suitable for working designers and students of design along with keen amateur gardeners who would like to work with creative concepts when designing gardens.

With such appealing workshops on offer to suit everyone, the Garden Marlborough community is truly privileged to be joined by Annie this year!
