For the Love of Plants
Posted: 14th March 2025The Clarence Hall was filled with gardening enthusiasts this week as Adam Frost, award-winning garden designer, RHS Ambassador, and TV presenter, shared his passion for plants in a lively and engaging talk. Hosted by Book-ish, the event was a celebration of horticulture, personal stories and the deep connections we form with the natural world.
Drawing from his latest book, For the Love of Plants, Adam took the audience on a journey through his own garden, describing the scents, textures and memories woven into every planting choice. From wildflower meadows to shady courtyards, he spoke with warmth and enthusiasm about the plants that have shaped his life, offering both practical gardening advice and touching reflections on how nature and music have influenced him over the years.
His relaxed and humorous style made for an evening that was both informative and deeply enjoyable. Whether sharing insights from his years of experience or reminiscing about memories among plants, Adam had the audience captivated from start to finish.
It was a wonderful night for seasoned gardeners and newcomers alike, leaving everyone inspired to look at their own gardens with fresh eyes — and perhaps a new appreciation for the stories our plants can tell.
