Slightly Foxed

On 15 July 2019, I was a guest of Slightly Foxed, the quality quarterly for book lovers, talking on the subject of good garden writing with Matt Collins, nature writer and Head Gardener at London’s Garden Museum. We were joined by Slightly Foxed’s Gail Pirkis, Hazel Wood and Philippa Lamb, and we meandered convivially via daredevil plant-hunters, early wild gardening advocates such as Gertrude Jekyll, William Robinson and Vita Sackville-West, and the passing passions and fashions of garden design, with a peek over the hedge at Christopher Lloyd’s Great Dixter along the way. All good fun!
