Give a Day of Gardening and a Year of Support

Looking for a thoughtful present for someone who loves their garden—or wishes they knew where to start? A GardenAdvice One-Day Gardening Course offers practical learning in their own garden, followed by 12 months of ongoing support.

Available as a gift for Christmas, birthdays, retirement or a new home, it’s an opportunity to build confidence, discover new ideas and get more enjoyment from gardening.

Your own garden becomes the classroom

With GardenAdvice, the gardening expert comes to you. The course takes place in your own garden, so the advice and demonstrations relate directly to your plants, soil and the projects you want to tackle.

You might want to understand when to prune, improve a struggling border, grow vegetables or create colour throughout the year. Before the course, we discuss your interests so the day can be tailored to you.

Depending on your garden and priorities, topics can include:

Pruning shrubs, roses, climbers and fruit trees.
Improving soil and choosing composts and mulches.
Selecting plants for sunny or shady areas.
Creating borders with interest throughout the seasons.
Growing fruit, vegetables and herbs.
Feeding, watering and lawn care.
Identifying common pests, diseases and plant problems.
Making your garden more welcoming to wildlife.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced gardener with questions about a particular project, there’s plenty of opportunity to ask questions and learn through practical demonstrations.

The support continues for a whole year

Gardening questions don’t stop when the course finishes. Every GardenAdvice gardening course includes 12 months of MyGardenTeam membership, giving you ongoing support as your garden changes through the seasons.

You’ll have help from your own GardenAdvice gardening adviser, with gardening notes, seasonal guidance and support for your planting plans and projects.

Membership also includes access to Elena AI, our personalised gardening assistant. Working alongside your GardenAdvice adviser and garden records, Elena can help with gardening questions, plant identification and seasonal tasks. You can upload photographs when you need help identifying a plant or understanding a problem.

That means you can keep building on what you learned during the course, with somewhere to turn when the next question arises.
