Looking for something to do, surrounded by avid gardeners just like you?
Welcome back to Bountiful Gardens, where not only do we sell plants—we offer all sorts of events and workshops too!
This past week, we were excited to welcome author, speaker and garden coach Pamela Hubbard to our Ewing and Hillsborough stores to talk about her new book, The Contemporary Cottage Garden.
Pamela’s talk was unique in that it centered on one of the core values here at Bountiful Gardens—the idea that the love of gardening can be passed through generations, and evoke cherished memories and feelings of nostalgia.
As Pamela said, “I learned to garden at my grandmother’s knee, and her cottage garden was amazing. I have spent the last twenty years creating a cottage garden as I had always dreamed to do—just like my grandmother’s—all about memories. It’s all about passing that heritage on to my children and grandchildren.”
Her book touches on the essentials of the perfect cottage garden, utilizing old fashioned gorgeous plants like Echinacea, Hollyhock, Evening Primrose, Garden Phlox, and of course…roses! She also provided guidance on how to structure these plants cohesively:
“So what do we mean when we talk about a cottage garden? A cottage garden has wide, curvy borders. There is always dense planting. There is an abundance of flowers, a riot of color, and there is always a focal point.”
The event was a hit! Attendees gave glowing reviews, got their books signed, and felt excited and motivated to start their very own cottage gardens!
We also offer all sorts of other events like group terrarium classes, birthday parties, and a variety of other talks to help you learn and grow on your gardening journey.
The joy of gardening is something we’re always excited to share, and the best way to stay in the loop on our events and workshops is to sign up for our mailing list either here on our site, or when you come into any of our stores!
