1. How to plan your Borders efficiently
I'll teach you why you should start planning early, why you should be ruthless with selection, what questions you need to ask while planning, and how you can use labeling to manage the whole process stress-free.
2. Understanding 'Garden Flow' and how to take care of it
Imagine walking through your garden, seeing the lovely repetition of flowers, plants linking together, matching colour schemes and suddenly your eyes stop to catch a plant or a group of flowers that don't fit in with what you're doing. That's what I call 'Garden Flow', and in this Masterclass, I'll teach you how you can have a flowing garden.
3. How to select plants for Propagation
Learn how to choose which plants to propagate, which plants to buy for next year, and how to do this process efficiently.
4. Why you should Think Back to Plan Ahead
Sometimes, if you want to move forward, you have to take a step back first. That's true for gardening as well. I'll teach you why you must look back at the previous seasons and the previous year to properly plan for the next season or year.
5. How to make gardening much more exciting
If you start to get bored of watching the same flowers, it's time to make some changes. Gardening should never be boring. If it feels that way, you're doing something wrong. There are so many amazing plants to work with. If you have plants that you find beautiful but still, you've grown tired of seeing them, there's nothing wrong with getting rid of them.
6. How to find good Pollinator Plants
One of the most important questions you need to ask is, "What are the best insect-friendly plants in my garden?". You'll learn why you should find more pollinator-friendly plants and how.
7. How to 'Keep the Show Going' in your garden
I'll teach you why you need to be brave and cut down plants, even if it's in full flower, when it hurts the garden flow. You should have an open mind and be willing to step outside of your comfort zone to try new ideas and new plants. Trust me when I tell you, gardening is so much fun when you do it this way.
8. What are the Long Flowering Plants
Inside this Masterclass, I'll take you on a tour through my garden at Hunting Brook and show you the long flowering plants in my garden, how to select them and how to take care of them.
And so many more valuable lessons...

%20-%20Copy.jpg)
Jimi Blake is a self-proclaimed “Plantaholic”, a Gardening Consultant, International Lecturer, Author of "A Beautiful Obsession", and Visionary Creator of Hunting Brook Gardens.
He developed a passion for gardening at a very young age from his mother and was formally trained at the National Botanic Gardens in Dublin as a horticulturist.
Not soon after, Jimi was appointed Head Gardener at Airfield Gardens in Dundrum, Dublin at a young age. There, he gained notoriety when he resuscitated a large Victorian garden to its former glory, enabling the public to rediscover and enjoy a lost gem.
After 12 years at Airfield, he bought 20 acres of land not far from where he was born and established the Hunting Brook Gardens which gained popularity among gardening legends and hobbyists alike. Today, he spends his time innovating new ideas at Hunting Brook and continues to develop his vision in new directions, always pushing the boundaries of his knowledge.
Hunting Brook has become a perennially popular educational space for students, volunteers, allotment holders and visitors and is now known as Ireland’s most exciting and fascinating garden.
When he's not sowing seeds or propagating plants at his garden, you can see him sharing his knowledge to horticulture students and gardening enthusiasts through online courses and workshops, often engaging internationally renowned gardeners as guest speakers, as well as giving lectures at various gardening events.
