SUMMARY:Painting with Plants by Chris Beardshaw
DESCRIPTION:In this inspiring and richly illustrated talk\, award-winning garden designer Chris Beardshaw explores the evolution of the English garden style\, with a particular focus on the iconic herbaceous border. Tracing its development from early formal planting schemes to the more naturalistic and expressive designs of today\, Chris highlights the influential figures who shaped this essentially British approach to gardening. He reveals the principles behind plant selection\, colour harmony\, structure and seasonal interest\, offering practical insights into how great borders are composed. Blending history\, design theory and personal experience\, Chris demystifies the artistry behind planting design and encourages gardeners of all levels to think creatively and create their own beautiful\, painterly borders at home.
