Adam Frost – For The Love Of Plants

“This book is a unique account of the joy plants can bring to us all, wonderfully observed through Adam’s brilliant eye for planting.”

RHS ambassador & BBC’s Gardener’s World Garden Designer Adam Frost will be joining us for an inspiring talk on Saturday morning at 9:30am and then again on Saturday afternoon at 2pm on the 12th of April.

The talk will be loosely based on the narrative of his latest book ‘for the Love of Plants’ where we take a wander through Adam’s garden as he reflects on the plants that have shaped his life.

‘The scents of the rosemary and thyme lining the garden path instantly welcome you to what follows: a wildflower meadow, an ornamental kitchen garden, a shady courtyard, terrace and borders, gravel garden, and woodland walk’.

As you go, Adam explains his design and planting choices, drawing on personal feeling and memories as well as years of experience.

Plant profiles provide inspiration for your own planting dreams, interspersed with practical know-how on plant care and design ideas to help you create flow and moments of pause using pathways, arches, water features, and pots.

Adam says: “That love for plants seems to have supported me throughout my life and I really wanted to try to share and celebrate that connection in the book. A few years back I hit a bit of a rough patch and a huge part of getting life back on track has been creating my new garden. For The Love of Plants is that journey, through creating the garden and back to being me again.

Adam’s journey is one that many of us can relate to, how the things we love can pull us through our hardest times, as well as being at the centre of our happiest ones.

Tickets are £49 per person and include a copy of the book, which Adam can sign and a hot drink and homemade cakes.

The event is held in the Thornton Suite by the Garden Restaurant, Gates Garden Centre, Somerby Road, Cold Overton nr Oakham LE15 7QB
