Bringing together a hugely diverse group of speakers from the worlds of contemporary garden design, horticulture, historic gardens and nature conservation, speaking on topics including meadows, sustainable floral design, biodynamic food growing, the healing effect of horticulture, the power of scent, and the joy of colour in a garden. With a focus on the importance of gardening with nature rather than against it, the event promises to be an entertaining and relaxed affair, as well as informative and inspiring, with garden tours, foraging workshops, curated stalls selling plants amid artisanal food trucks, quality organic coffee and sweet treats and floristry lectures.
