Lesson Outline
The lesson will follow our presenter Sally-Ann Spence, as she carries out an investigation into why her plants are not healthy.
We will be joined by experts at RHS who will tell us more about plant health, as well as what we learn about plants from the research they do.
During our time in Wisley Gardens, teaching will be put into a real-life context through exciting demos, recordings and animated infographics.
