What You'll Learn

1. How to plan your Borders efficiently

I'll teach you why you should start planning early, why you should be ruthless with selection, what questions you need to ask while planning, and how you can use labeling to manage the whole process stress-free.

2. Understanding 'Garden Flow' and how to take care of it

Imagine walking through your garden, seeing the lovely repetition of flowers, plants linking together, matching colour schemes and suddenly your eyes stop to catch a plant or a group of flowers that don't fit in with what you're doing. That's what I call 'Garden Flow', and in this Masterclass, I'll teach you how you can have a flowing garden.

3. How to select plants for Propagation

Learn how to choose which plants to propagate, which plants to buy for next year, and how to do this process efficiently.

4. Why you should Think Back to Plan Ahead

Sometimes, if you want to move forward, you have to take a step back first. That's true for gardening as well. I'll teach you why you must look back at the previous seasons and the previous year to properly plan for the next season or year..

5. How to make gardening much more exciting

If you start to get bored of watching the same flowers, it's time to make some changes. Gardening should never be boring. If it feels that way, you're doing something wrong. There are so many amazing plants to work with. If you have plants that you find beautiful but still, you've grown tired of seeing them, there's nothing wrong with getting rid of them.

6. How to find good Pollinator Plants

One of the most important questions you need to ask is, "What are the best insect-friendly plants in my garden?". You'll learn why you should find more pollinator-friendly plants and how.

7. How to 'Keep the Show Going' in your garden

I'll teach you why you need to be brave and cut down plants, even if it's in full flower, when it hurts the garden flow. You should have an open mind and be willing to step outside of your comfort zone to try new ideas and new plants. Trust me when I tell you, gardening is so much fun when you do it this way.

8. What are the Long Flowering Plants

Inside this Masterclass, I'll take you on a tour through my garden at Hunting Brook and show you the long flowering plants in my garden, how to select them and how to take care of them.

And so many more valuable lessons...

Meet Your Trainer

Jimi Blake is a self-proclaimed “Plantaholic”, a Gardening Consultant, International Lecturer, Author of "A Beautiful Obsession", and Visionary Creator of Hunting Brook Gardens.

He developed a passion for gardening at a very young age from his mother and was formally trained at the National Botanic Gardens in Dublin as a horticulturist.

Not soon after, Jimi was appointed Head Gardener at Airfield Gardens in Dundrum, Dublin at a young age. There, he gained notoriety when he resuscitated a large Victorian garden to its former glory, enabling the public to rediscover and enjoy a lost gem.

After 12 years at Airfield, he bought 20 acres of land not far from where he was born and established the Hunting Brook Gardens which gained popularity among gardening legends and hobbyists alike. Today, he spends his time innovating new ideas at Hunting Brook and continues to develop his vision in new directions, always pushing the boundaries of his knowledge.

Hunting Brook has become a perennially popular educational space for students, volunteers, allotment holders and visitors and is now known as Ireland’s most exciting and fascinating garden.

When he's not sowing seeds or propagating plants at his garden, you can see him sharing his knowledge to horticulture students and gardening enthusiasts through online courses and workshops, often engaging internationally renowned gardeners as guest speakers, as well as giving lectures at various gardening events.

What Students Say

"Jimi is a great teacher"

Jimi is a great teacher, enthusiastic and generous with his immense knowledge of plants and how to grow them. He’s a restless and experimental gardener, always pushing boundaries and looking for new ideas to try and to share, you are introduced to the best in plant varieties and creative ideas on how to use them. In and above the plants, there's time to enjoy new gardening friends who have continued to meet up long after the course finished.

Philip Holoway | Student & Garden Designer

"No matter what level of gardener, you never stop learning"

I wondered would the online course be as good as being in the garden in person. Jimi’s videos are so good the only thing missing is the wonderful scent in the garden and meeting Doris and Billy. The content is huge, being able to access the course for a few months afterwards means you can watch at your own pace and on a wet evening! The list of plants included is great to have for future reference and to create a shopping list. No matter what level of gardener, you never stop learning and with so many varieties (species) arriving in Hunting Brook on a regular basis, it is always exciting. Watching him open box’s on Instagram is pure magic! Jimi’s enthusiasm is infectious and adds to the feeling of positivity generated, even online.

Yvonne Leavy | Student

"Jimi changed my life"

Everyone has a teacher who inspired them - for me it is Jimi Blake - he changed my life !
Ripping up the rule book, Jimi challenges conventional horticultural thinking with his unique, adventurous approach. Jimi has a wide range of experience and in-depth knowledge. He makes design, propagation, planting and pruning interesting, accessible - and most of all FUN !
You won’t find another course like it.

Petra Sturgon | Student & Garden Designer

"I can honestly say Jimi's course was the best thing I did"

I did Jimis plants person course in 2018, and I can honestly say it’s the best thing I ever did. He taught me so much about plants, combinations of plants, how to keep the colour going in my garden all year long, how to look at the planting with a critical eye and then be brave enough to change where change is needed. His enthusiasm is infectious, you can see the passion he has for gardening…and he passes that on to his students. It was a marvellous course…I learned so much from him. I’d definitely recommend to others.

Marie Arnold | Student

"Full of information and great fun"

I attended Jimi Blake’s Masterclasses over the past two years and found them very helpful, full of information and great fun.
The seasonal approach that Jimi brings in helped me to have a continuous display in my garden, and excellent colour choices.
Tips on planting combinations, propagation and where to access unusual plants was what I needed and the sharing of information from other gardeners enriched the experience too.
I would recommend Jimi ‘s Masterclass to beginners and more experienced gardeners while heartedly, as he has much knowledge and shares it in a easy to access way. Hunting Brook Gardens is my favourite place in the world to relax, as it has an atmosphere unlike anyplace else, with native and exotic plants living in the same valley with a stream running through and moss encrusted logs throughout.

Joyce Fitzpatrick | Student

"If you are looking to do an online gardening course, I can ONLY recommend doing Jimi's. Whether you are a beginner gardener or a gardening professional - this course really is for everyone."

"I would strongly recommend Jimi's online courses to all gardeners - beginners or experienced!
