Neil Lucas, the UK’s leading authority on ornamental grasses and owner of Dorset-based Knoll Gardens hosts a series of Ornamental Grass Masterclasses at Knoll every autumn.
Each event is taken by Neil Lucas personally and are based in the nationally acclaimed 4 acre gardens which are well known for our approach to the use of grasses and perennials in the modern naturalistic style.
Centred around a tour of the garden, the afternoon will cover all aspects concerning the use of grasses in a garden setting. Specific subjects will include layout and design, border preparation, choice of plants, general care and cultivation.
Cost of all sessions include entrance to the garden, and refreshments.

To book your place or for more details visit our online store or call the nursery on 01202 873931.

EVENTS

The gardens hold a series of free open days, usually on the last Friday of each month, in aid of the
Knoll Gardens Foundation.

In addition to garden-based events Neil is also in demand for personal appearances, lectures and talks, with gardeners keen to learn at first hand the principles that guide his naturalistic planting and gardening style.

LECTURES

Neil is available to lecture on his work at Knoll Gardens, his interest in grasses, their use in our designed spaces, and how his particular gardening philosophy has evolved as a result of his lifelong fascination with plants both in gardens and the wider landscape. A keen plantsman, his frequently updated lecture;
Grasses; Their Place in Our Gardens is a combination of cultural information, anecdotes, stories, travelogue and background on Knoll Gardens intended to give an up to date and informative portrait of his work and passion so far.
The lecture is presented in digital format, and so can be tailored to meet the interests of individual audiences.
