Discover and Learn

Our events programme compliments the changing seasons, and runs from spring through to the autumn, providing opportunities for everyone to learn new skills, enjoy our wildlife and discover the way to a beautiful garden with great environmental credentials.

Alongside wildlife events organised by our associated charity, the Knoll Gardens Foundation (Reg Charity 1159390), Neil Lucas leads regular horticultural walks, talks and masterclasses in the garden. As the UK’s leading authority on ornamental grasses, Neil can also be found speaking and lecturing across the UK and overseas.

Grass Masterclass – with Neil Lucas

Grass Masterclass – with Neil Lucas

Grasses and their allies are a huge group of plants, offering a range of unique qualities that make them such versatile, practical, and yet easy care and beautiful additions to our gardens and designed spaces.

Renowned for his expertise on grasses and their use in our designed spaces, join Neil Lucas for an afternoon (from 2pm to 4.30pm), centred around a tour of the garden as he imparts something of his knowledge and experience gained during his 30 years of living and working at Knoll. Neil will show how grasses are an essential part of the naturalistic and wildlife friendly ethos and approach to garden making,  which has made Knoll the respected garden that it is today. Whatever your experience level learn how to choose, use and care for them, and see just how valuable grasses can be for todays gardens and the wider environment.

This is the first of four stand alone classes, and is suitable for private gardeners and trade professionals.
