Secret Garden Gatherings
A gentle coming together of like-minded folk
To meet, connect, learn, inspire, share, de-mystify & just ‘be’. All in the most gloriously inspiring of places. Created to offer you a ‘behind the curtain’ glimpse of private & sometimes secret gardens.
‘A beautiful morning in your enchanted garden … Thank you Fiona’ Glynis
At only a couple of hours long, they fit easily into a busy life and depending on the garden or farm, each gathering has a different format, focus and emphasis and will be guided by me along with the gardener / grower / owner.
What a wonderful morning! Thank you so much for allowing us into your magical haven. Certainly will encourage me to take another ‘pathway’.

The gardener will offer all sorts of sagely advice, tips and observations, while I will offer my take on the garden, which materials I’m drawn to, how I might use them etc - a sharing of my thought processes and inspiration.
A great chance to ask either of us whatever you fancy and a few glorious hours of community and connection; sharing and passing on knowledge in delightful settings.
Upcoming gatherings
The next gathering is on Monday 2nd September 2024 17.30-20.00 - a golden hour gathering at Rachel Petheram’s therapy garden.
“so many things you said resonated with me, hope to see you again sometime”

things you need to know:
As low cost events, no refunds are available and waiting lists will not be operated, please ensure you can attend prior to booking. If you find after booking you cannot attend, you may send somebody else in your place.
The Secret Garden Gatherings are designed specifically as garden insights, visit or tour with additional knowledge sharing from Fiona as an insight into her process.
Most of the gardens involved will be working spaces and not usually open to the public - the Gatherings aren’t tours around perfectly curated spaces. Instead expect weed suppressing membranes, problem and tatty areas - all the really interesting stuff that we learn the most from actually 😉.
These aren’t full Masterclasses and unless specified there will be no floral demonstration.
Booking is direct through the website only and you will receive further details confirming directions etc just prior to the event.
Previous attendees receive a 25% discount on future Secret Garden Gatherings - your code was emailed after the gathering you attended.
Early access, priority booking & reduced rates are offered to the Guest List.
