Looking back on the last 2 years since we took over The Generous Gardener from Mel Tanner, who ran it so brilliantly for 12 years, we are so thrilled to have hosted such great speakers at our Rodmarton Manor lecture days and held 5 specialist plant sales at Charlton Farm.
2023 Speakers
Dr Todd Longstaffe-Gowan, Richard Miers, James Alexander-Sinclair, Pippa Greenwood, Jinny Blom, Niff Barnes, Jimmy Blake, Adam Hunt & Lulu Urquhart partnership, photographer Clive Nichols and Georgie Newbery of Common Farm Flowers.
2024 Speakers
Troy Scott-Smith, Charlotte Harris & Hugo Bugg partnership, Polly Nicholson, Jamie Butterworth, Marian Boswall, Nick Macer, Arthur Parkinson, Kate Stuart-Smith and Any Sturgeon.
Andy’s talk was our first ever evening event which included drinks and canapés on the terrace, a delicious dinner and goodie bag gifts donated by C.Atherley (Cath Kidston’s new pelargonium scented skincare business) and seeds from Plants of Distinction. The evening raised £800 for The Simon Rivett-Carnac Trust for mental health and suicide prevention with a focus on horticultural therapy.
