"How I Garden" - A Talk by Adam Frost
In this talk, Adam will share his personal approach to making the most of any garden space — from a window box or terrace to a larger plot with borders and vegetables. He explores not just what to grow, but why we grow it, and how planting choices, structure and pots can sit comfortably together. Drawing on his own experience, Adam will give practical tips to help your garden thrive, whilst encouraging the simple rituals that make it your own. Adam’s talk will be followed by a Q&A.
