Talks

Looking for an engaging speaker for your gardening club? I'd be delighted to join you.

Container gardening is one of the most effective ways to bring structure, character and year-round interest to a garden. Since 2020, I've been on a mission to build one of Britain's leading specialist pot businesses. Along the way, I've advised garden designers on the use of pots within their schemes, supplied the television and film industry, and helped hundreds of gardeners across the country choose the right pot for the right place.

My talk explores the world of container gardening, covering subjects such as:

• Choosing the right pot for the job
• Creating impact through scale and proportion
• Practical considerations for successful container gardening
• Feeding, watering and long-term maintenance
• The different types of terracotta and garden pots available today
• What separates an exceptional pot from an ordinary one

The session lasts approximately 45 minutes and finishes up with a potting demonstration, followed by time for questions.

Speaker Fee

I charge £175 per talk (inc VAT), including travel within 30 minutes of Leominster.

Whilst I would never claim to be a technical plantsman (so please don't test me on my Latin!), I have spent years immersed in the world of garden pots and container gardening.

As I often say:

"I don't know much, but I know pots."
