Jimi Blake Planting Design Collection

Jimi Blake teaches you how to use planting design to create colourful gardens throughout the year.

Taught from his famous Hunting Brook Gardens in Ireland Jimi will look at which colourful plants can bridge the gap from spring to summer.

You’ll learn how to create an exotic garden even in a cool climate, how to create a sand garden (and which plants to include) and how to combine plants for maximum impact.
