A workshop at a Shenstone garden centre will give people top tips on choosing pots and plants to brighten up a patio.

The live demonstration takes place at 10.30am on Saturday (6th May) at Dobbies.

The session is suitable for all levels of gardeners and will experts discuss who to create a balance of colour and style, as well as focusing on key plants that thrive in such an environment.

Marcus Eyles, Dobbies’ horticultural director, said:

> “We are constantly searching for ways to inspire people in Shenstone to get involved in gardening – growing plants for your patio is not only good for the environment and your mental health, but it is also a fun way to get the whole family involved in a project.  
>  
> “You could even be inspired by the coronation over this special weekend. If you’re looking to create a regal display, consider plants in deep shades of blue, purple and magenta for a striking look reminiscent of King Charles III’s royal gardens.  
>  
> “Pansy and viola plants are great for this as they work well in containers and will give your pots a wonderful fresh look.  
>  
> “We are really looking forward to this workshop and hope we inspire some beautiful new patio plants.”  
>  
> Marcus Eyles, Robbie’s
