Dobbies launches virtual events
Dobbies is to offer a programme of exclusive virtual events for its Dobbies Club members this spring.
Launching on 27 March, the sessions will be hosted by Dobbies’ horticultural director Marcus Eyles live from his own garden and will include tutorials and live demonstrations across a variety of topics.
The first event will cover filling pots and planters with colourful springtime blooms while subsequent classes include topics such as developing healthy soil and edible crops, cultivating garden wildlife and maintaining a lush lawn. Attendees will have the chance to ask questions.
Eyles said: “Over the past year, more of us than ever before have discovered a love of gardening and experienced the ways that it enriches our lives and improves our wellbeing. Gardening is something we can all enjoy, no matter how large or small our outdoor spaces, and we are delighted to be launching this series of virtual events. We hope that they will inspire and help gardeners old and new to learn the skills and techniques they need to take their gardens to the next level.”
Dobbies’ virtual events follow a successful programme of Facebook Live sessions in 2020 and will provide a virtual alternative to the regular ‘Grow How’ events previously hosted in-store. The sessions will be free of charge and only available to Dobbies Club members.
