As summer tips into autumn, join Fiona Pickles and Marianne Mogendorff for a day to exhale, pause and creatively recharge.

Taking inspiration from sun-bleached stems and the garden’s autumn bounty, Fiona will guide us through her process for building foam-free, large scale installations, inspired by the season and the unusual ingredients she has gathered from the garden. Building a design within the walled garden’s Victorian glasshouse, Fiona will share ideas for installation mechanics, how to know when to stop (!) and how to build trust with a client. 

The day will include a walk around the garden with Marianne to hear more about the ethos and vision for building this garden in the future. Lunch and snacks using ingredients from the garden are included. There are eight spaces available plus one fully funded place.
