Harrogate Slingsby Sofa Sessions are back with Chelsea Flower Show award-winner

Harrogate Slingsby Gin event - Award-winning Chelsea Flower Show gardener Matthew Wilson.

To celebrate the end of the first ever virtual Chelsea Flower Show, Matthew will be sharing his top tips on how to plant your very own botanical herb garden at home.

He’ll demonstrate how to plant and even take cuttings from herbs you can get from the supermarket to add to your window box or plant pots (or you could even upcycle a Slingsby Gin presentation box).

Handily, the herbs are hailed as perfect to add to a G&T or a Slingsby cocktail!

Slingsby’s expert mixologist will also give tasty tips on garnish pairings and recommend serves to go with your newly-grown herbs.

Everyone is invited this Saturday to grab a G&T, sit back and enjoy Slingsby’s floral based Sofa Session.
