After being a course leader and lecturer in Horticulture at Nottingham Trent University for nearly 20 years I am now working on a new venture in Limousin, France. In our plant nursery and garden school we aim to carry on sharing our passion for horticulture and natural crafts.
Specialist subjects include plant science, propagation, plant identification, specialist traditional and modern pruning and maintenance techniques. We also teach greenwood crafts, weaving, stained glass art and other crafts using natural materials.

We have started taking bookings for courses for the coming season. This year we are continuing to book courses ‘on request’ as it has been successful over the last couple of years in helping us to offer the courses that you want to do and when you are available to come.

There is information about the range of courses and workshops that we offer on our ‘Courses’ page, along with a current price list. If you have a group of friends all wanting to come along together then we can make it an exclusive group booking (minimum of 6 people, or 4 for stained glass courses). If there is just yourself, or a group of less than our minimum number, we will still organise the course or workshop to suit you and then we will advertise the additional places. Courses with spare places will then go onto our calendar and be advertised on our website and Facebook page.

Just get in touch to let us know what you would like to do, suggest a few dates that work for you and we will check our availability and get it organised for you. The best method of getting in touch is by email: lejardincreatif87@gmail.com – but please check your SPAM box if you don’t get a reply within 2 working days.

We will also be advertising a few new courses that we have been developing over the winter months.

Don’t forget to tune into channel 4 on Thursday 9th March at 4pm UK time to see our latest episode of ‘New Life in the Sun – Where are they Now?’
