I attended a Rose Growing Workshop in Rockbarton Garden Centre on Saturday 21st February. It was very informal and friendly and there was a nice welcoming atmosphere. I learned a lot, particularly about where to place roses, which I hadn't thought about much before then. The pruning process was explained very clearly and I feel much more confident about that now. The weather was bad so the tea and scones were very welcome! Lynda has great expertise and what was great was that anything that came up was discussed - we got good advice on hydrangeas as well, for instance. I would definitely go to another workshop like this and I would recommend it to others. A lovely way to spend a wet Saturday in February!

Our experience at Rockbarton Gardens has been fantastic. Lynda is extremely professional and experienced, and has helped us to select the best plants for the flowerbeds in our village. This has been noted in our Tidy Towns adjudicators report! Would highly recommend Rockbarton to anyone. Caherconlish Tidy Towns.

Enjoyed a fabulous Autumn Colour class at Rockbarton Garden Centre, it was a very informative & interesting morning. Lynda has great knowledge & showed us a wonderful array of shrubs & perennials to bring colour & interest to our gardens for the Autumn/Winter season, all this information was put together in a booklet to bring home so we would have the information for future reference. We then made fab colourful autumn containers to take home & finished with tea & scones (with cream & jam yum). 10/10 really enjoyed my morning & now have lots of inspiration. Looking forward to next class.

Lovely workshop. Interesting and informative. Linda is very knowledgeable and helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed. Tea and scones were welcome after our hard work making our own autumn pots. Also got to see their own beautiful garden. Left armed with lots of inspiration

Lynda is always so helpful. I recently did a Rose course in Rockbarton. It was such an enjoyable morning with yummy scones, coffee and chats and of course loads of tips, tricks and learning all about roses. I would highly recommend Rockbarton Gardens
