When we asked our Instagram community what events they’d like to see from us in 2022, the most popular reply was a photography workshop. So, people-pleasers that we are, we’ve responded to that by putting together a fantastic opportunity to join us for a photography workshop afternoon at Quinton Old Rectory garden this June in collaboration with Clive Nichols, “Britain’s Best garden photographer” (Canon Magazine).

We’ve been lucky enough to get to know Clive a little over the past 5 years as he’s taken photos of the garden throughout the seasons, many of which have now featured in UK and oveseas publications. Clive has photographed many of the world's best gardens, including HRH The Prince of Wales's own private garden in Scotland, Lord Rothschild's private garden in Corfu and Lord Heseltine's private garden in Oxfordshire. His passion for the subject comes across in every image that he makes.

His work has appeared in hundreds of books as well as in countless magazines, calendars and brochures. Clive regularly gives master classes in flower and garden photography for The Royal Horticultural Society and has a huge Instagram following.

After a welcome drink, our afternoon workshop will begin with a presentation by Clive. This will be followed by a practical demonstration in the garden, as Clive shares his hints and tips for capturing the very best garden images. We’ll break for tea and cake before participants set out into the garden with their cameras (and with Clive on hand to give guidance and advice) to put into practice their learnings from the afternoon.

We think it’s going to be a very special afternoon. Tickets for the workshop are £75 and numbers are strictly limited to 20. Click here to book your spot
