9 Let s grow together Exciting projects are underway at RHS Garden Wisley, including the creation of two new buildings and several gardens. To find out more go to rhs.org.uk/gardens/wisley/garden-highlights/major-projects-at-wisley or visit us in person to see history in the making. To fit in with the developments and the bigger picture at Wisley, we need to adapt the way we plan courses and workshops, and how we tell you about them. In July we will temporarily lose the main space that we use for courses, which is why there are fewer workshops than usual scheduled in the second half of From late 2018 onwards, we would like to test courses in new spaces as and when they become available. Some of the courses will be brand new and all will be at discounted trial prices. To make the most of these new spaces, we will need to plan courses with a shorter lead-time than our current annual programme that we publish. We would like you to let us contact you by from time to time to keep you updated with courses and workshops developments and make sure you are the first to know about new courses that we plan. We promise not to bombard you with s, but to update you every month or two with what s new, and we won t share your details with anyone, ever. If you have feedback or suggestions we would love to hear from you. In spring 2018 we will commence a major evaluation project and everybody on the development group list will be invited to take part. If you have anything more pressing to discuss, please contact us via the details on the back cover of this brochure. Be part of the change and us now at adultlearning@rhs.org.uk with the subject grow to be added to our development group list 9 9
