ANYONE who made a new year’s resolution to have greener fingers can find inspiration in workshops taking place in garden centres this weekend.
The Hare Hatch and Spencers Wood branches of Dobbies is holding two events.
On Saturday, January 7, from 10.30am, there is a Grow How session looking at bringing houseplants into the home.
Experts will showcase air-purifying houseplants, explain how to use them in indoor spaces, and celebrate the benefits associated with them.
Then youngsters can take part in a Little Seedlings Club on Sunday, January 8.
Aimed at children aged four to 10, the sessions need to be booked in advance.
This sessionm will explore new year traditions such as the luck and prosperity associated with eating black-eyed peas-beans, alongside plants to grow in January, seeds to sow and how to prepare your garden for the year ahead.
Dobbies’ Partnership and Events Manager, Sarah Murray, said: “January is a great time to make plans and learn a new skill or hobby. We’re always looking to help sow some passion and encourage our customers to try something new.
“Houseplants are a great way to enhance your space and improve your mood – not only will your home feel refreshed, but so will you. We’re looking forward to our houseplant Grow How event being a popular one. For our Little Seedlings, our workshop on making a positive start in the garden aims to be both motivational and inspiring for young gardening fans.
“We’ve thoroughly enjoyed our sessions throughout 2022 and are excited to kick off the year with these two, free workshops to help customers start as they mean to go on.”
