Seasonal Garden Success
Create a Garden That Looks Beautiful from January to December
This step-by-step seasonal planting course will help you confidently choose plants that bring vibrant colour, structure, and interest all year, even in Winter.
🌿 Designed for UK gardens
🌿 Beginner-friendly, expert-led
🌿 Lifetime access
Does your garden feel full of promise, but only really shines for part of the year?
🌿 Your borders look lovely for a few months, but then feel flat or empty
🌿 Most of your plants flower at the same time, leaving long gaps with little interest
🌿 You don’t want to even look at your garden in Winter as there’s so little going on
🌿 You’re tired of standing in garden centres unsure what to choose, and hoping for the best
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many of my planting design clients come to me feeling exactly the same way.
Now imagine stepping into your garden and always finding something beautiful to enjoy.
Every month of the year, your garden can be bursting with…
🌿 Beautiful flowers
🌿 Gorgeous colour palettes that reflect the seasons
🌿 Interesting foliage and textures
🌿 Mesmerising movement and structure
🌿 Plants that attract wildlife throughout the year
Seasonal Garden Success shows you exactly how to plan and choose plants so your garden looks beautiful every month of the year, without overwhelm, guesswork, or wasted money.
By the end of the course, you will:
🌿 Understand how to plan planting so something is shining in every season
🌿 Feel confident choosing plants that earn their place in your garden
🌿 Stop impulse-buying plants that don’t quite work
🌿 Know how to create colour, structure, texture, and movement all year
🌿 Finally enjoy Winter interest in your garden instead of dreading it
This course helps you move from feeling stuck and unsure to calm, confident, and excited about your garden, whatever the season.

“I absolutely loved Sarah’s talks on gardening. I’d never grown anything I could eat before, and she inspired me to grow all kinds of things, from herbs and tomatoes to green leaves and edible flowers! She has a huge knowledge of plants and gardening and her sessions were full of really useful tips, but more than just being informative and helpful, they were interesting, engaging and fun.”

I love sharing what I’ve worked so hard to learn. A garden is a sanctuary, a place of both peace and excitement, and it should be accessible to everyone.

“Sarah created content as part of our nature-based online programme to support individuals throughout national lockdown. Her content was engaging and well researched, it was clear that she has expert knowledge in the field. Sarah mastered the balance of information and hands-on practical activities and was able to adapt these based on participants level of experience. Not only was her content engaging, her presentation style was inspiring and motivating which was much needed during the difficult lockdown period.”
