Inspiring Gardeners: The Story of Adrian Bloom’s "Give Away Gardens”
2024 iLandscape Show Education Sessions
•
48m
This talk shows how nurseryman and gardener Adrian Bloom attempted to inspire more people into gardening through an ‘instant garden creation’ of mostly suburban front gardens in the UK and USA. These gardens were typically ‘average’ and undeveloped and were given away free to those nominated and chosen by local horticulturalists and Garden Centres. All were designed - usually on the spot - by Adrian using some of the design principles he had found from creating his own six acre garden Foggy Bottom, one of The Bressingham Gardens.
Adrian will share his experiences, his ideas and selection of plants in his entertaining lecture.
