  • Gardening Talk at Letchworth Garden City with RHS

    Gardening Talk at Letchworth Garden City with RHS

    I headed to Letchworth Garden City in Hertfordshire on 1 April to launch the Community Gardening scheme and Grow Your Own Project with the Royal Horticultural Society and Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation.

    For the project, a community garden involving local schoolchildren has been created in the town centre. It will provide a place for workshops to boost the gardening skills of everyone in the community, from young to old. Visit their website here: www.letchworth.com/rhs 

    All you thinking of entering Cultivation Street should take note, especially those thinking of entering for the Sustainability and Community Award!

    Thanks to everyone who came along on the night to the Spirella ballroom to see my talk on the Magic of Community Gardening.

    I hope I showed you the power and importance of plants not only to help build communities but to bring about health and well-being too. I also looked at wildlife and biodiversity, as well as how to enhance our existing spaces visually and environmentally.

    I want to inspire people to get involved with community gardening projects. They are a fantastic way to bring people together and rebuild community bonds as neighbours share plants and advice and get growing together.

    I firmly believe that we can bring communities back together through people, plants and pride. I started a campaign about it, after all!

  • Challenge David to plant weird and wacky containers!

    I’m always telling people to have fun with their containers. So, live on stage at this year’s Ideal Home Show, I’m putting my money where my mouth is!

    I will be taking part in a daily challenge creating beautiful displays of plants – in weird and wacky containers. And the best bit? YOU get to choose them for me! The funnier and crazier the better!

    Tyre plant containers! Got a better idea?

    Think of any object that can hold a plant, and tweet me your suggestions. It could be:

    • Something found in your kitchen, like pans and teacups
    • A piece of furniture
    • An item of clothing or footwear
    • Something found in your recycling bin, like tins and bottles
    • A musical instrument
    • Something found in your shed, like a BBQ or a toolkit
    • Something found in your bathroom (including the furniture)
    • Something full of holes (make it as difficult as possible!)
    • Basically, everything up to and including the kitchen sink!
