Arriving in Milton Keynes, Charlie entertained guests with a gardening demonstration at the Jupiter House development on Hindhead Knoll. Charlie also provided advice and inspiration for a variety of planting schemes, as well as answered guests’ burning gardening queries as part of a Question-and-Answer session.
During the course of the afternoon, guests were able to relax in Jupiter House’s landscaped gardens whilst enjoying Prosecco and nibbles.
"We had a wonderful time discussing an eclectic mix of gardening questions covering how to maintain colour and greenery in the colder winter months, as well as a few Garden Rescue questions," Charlie said, "It was a joy to meet all the homeowners and their guests.”
