Adam Frost of Gardeners' World #173
In this re-release of a podcast interview, I chat to Adam Frost, now Gardeners’ World presenter and all time gardening nice guy, as we chat how he got into gardening, what he thinks of the industry and how he thinks we can all be gardeners. We also discuss the best way to get kids gardening.
I realised the other day that with over 170 episodes of The Skinny Jean Gardener Podcast, you may have just joined us, or did last year. And with our busy lives I don't expect you to listen back to all of them! so each week, along with new podcasts, Im "repotting" some of my past favourites! The first is with the brilliant Adam Frost!
Adam Frost is a Landscape Designer who is passionate about what he does.
He believes there’s inspiration all around us – in nature, architecture, art, people and food – we just have to take the time to stop and look around.
He draws on memories, special places and people who have been influential to the way he designs.
Adam cares that his garden designs are about creating personal spaces that people can feel comfortable in, places that actually feel ‘real’, as well as being beautiful.
Adam enjoys travelling the world designing gardens and speaking on a wide variety of horticultural topics.
He has written a book entitled ‘Real Gardens’ about the memories and ideas behind his Chelsea Gold Medal winning designs.
Adam is an RHS Ambassador for Education and Community Gardens, Co-Founder of the Homebase Garden Academy and a presenter on BBC television, including Gardeners’ World.
Adam also loves sport and cooking. He lives with his wife Sulina in a picturesque Lincolnshire village, with their four children, one horse, two ponies, two spaniels, one black Labrador and an ancient cat! His 3 acre garden is a work in progress.
