About the event:
Change the world from your back garden.
Leading landscape designer Marian Boswall has worked on some of the UK’s most ambitious and innovative regenerative landscape projects. Join Marian in conversation with the Serge Hill Project Director and bestselling author Sue Stuart-Smith in the Apple House for a trail-blazing conversation drawing on, and celebrating the publication of, Marian’s new book The Kindest Garden: A Practical Guide to Regenerative Gardening, published this Spring.
A step-up from sustainable gardening, which focuses on minimising our impact on the earth, regenerative gardening is about making an active contribution to the health of the planet: nurturing and replenishing biodiversity and ourselves through our gardens. Whether you have a shady patio, a large plot of land or a windowsill–you can make an impact.
Drawing on lessons from forward-thinking farmers, foresters, re-wilders and nature itself, The Kindest Garden will show you how to make a garden that is both a beautiful sanctuary and a place where nature can thrive. Come to understand the key elements of a garden (soil, water, ecosystems, materials, energy and planting) on a deeper level and discover how to work with each one to co-create a garden that helps makes positive change. Apply in-depth practical knowledge to your projects and plan your planting to nourish the soil, yourself and others.
With practical takeaways, and drawing on a wealth of real-life projects, this evening will be perfect and full of inspiration for eco-conscious gardeners and designers who want to make a real difference.
Hosted in The Apple House eco-barn, in an old orchard, guests can explore Tom Stuart-Smith’s Plant Library of over 1500 herbaceous perennials and bulbs ahead of the talk and enjoy a drink while they do so.
