It’s time to immerse yourself in the culture of the Rose. One of the most romanticised flowers in the history of flower cultivation.
Step through the farm gates and into the peaceful world of ‘Livewell Farm’ an established country style garden with a sublime collection of floribundas, standards, wild roses and hybrid teas.
Here you can learn how to plant, grow and care for Roses from selection through to enjoyment of your abundant blooms.
‘Livewell Farm’ and it’s rolling hills is nestled in Haigslea with views of Mount Marrow and Marburg. The perfect ambience to meander through the garden discussing and demonstrating exceptional Rose culture.
Get hands on as we invite you to gain valuable experience planting and pruning. All the seasonal requirements for your plants will be discussed along with advice for managing pests and disease. As well as all the tools and products of the trade.
The owners of Livewell Farm will also treat us with a Livewell Farm Garden Lunch.
If you’ve never had the experience of a Livewell Farm Garden Lunch think Rosewater Meringues with Fairy Floss, Ribbon sandwiches, Mini quiches, Scones and Tea and Coffee. (I’d come just for the food!)
