About Is Foliage More Important than Flowers - Stillingfleet Lodge Gardens

Join us for an inspiring new workshop that explores the question: “Is foliage more important than flowers?”

Garden owner Vanessa Cook will guide you through the often-overlooked impact of foliage in garden design. Whilst we will be focussing on plants with colourful foliage, you will also learn how leaves can provide year-round interest, enhance floral displays, and transform a space through their remarkable variety of sizes, shapes and textures.

You’ll also uncover the vital role foliage plays in supporting wildlife. While flowers feed pollinators, leaves offer essential food, shelter, and materials for natural compost within our wildlife friendly garden.
