A Shepton Mallet garden centre is set to offer its customers the chance to kickstart 2023 with two free workshops.

Dobbies in Shepton Mallet is hosting two free workshops this January, with the first event getting underway on Saturday, January 7 and will give customers in Shepton Mallet expert guidance on how to incorporate houseplants into their homes.

Dobbies' first 'Grow How' session of the year takes place on Saturday, January 7, at 10:30am

Dobbies' experts will showcase the different air-purifying houseplants available to buy, how to use them in your indoor spaces, all the benefits associated with having houseplants, and care tips on how to look after them. Incorporating houseplants into your home will help brighten your indoor space and positively affect your overall well-being as we enter the new year.

The Little Seedlings Club is great for kids aged 4-10 and takes place on the morning of Sunday, 8 January in Shepton Mallet with free bookable sessions.

Dobbies' Partnership and Events Manager, Sarah Murray, said: "January is a great time to make plans and learn a new skill or hobby. We're always looking to help sow some passion and encourage our customers in Shepton Mallet to try something new.

"Houseplants are a great way to enhance your space and improve your mood - not only will your home feel refreshed, but so will you. We're looking forward to our houseplant 'Grow How' event being a popular one. For our Little Seedlings, our workshop on making a positive start in the garden aims to be both motivational and inspiring for young gardening fans.

"We've thoroughly enjoyed our sessions throughout 2022 and we are excited to kick off the year with these two free workshops to help customers start as they mean to go on."
