Frances Tophill & Alice Vincent: Modern Gardening
Sorry, this event has sold out
Gardeners’ World presenter Frances Tophill and Alice Vincent, author and host of the Why Women Grow podcast, share their passion for gardening.
What and who inspires them to grow? What does a modern British garden look like today? Just how wild should re-wilding go?
Frances Tophill was brought up in Kent. Her latest book is The Modern Gardener. Alice Vincent is a journalist, broadcaster and author of Why Women Grow: Stories of Soil, Sisterhood and Survival.
Frances and Alice will be joined by Folkestone-based artist, activist and wild gardener Helen Lindon as the chair of this green-fingered discussion.
