Teacher, broadcaster and founder of her eponymous mail-order plant nursery, Sarah Raven is a true pioneer of productive, beautiful gardening. Drawing on decades of experimentation at her celebrated garden at Perch Hill, she has transformed how we think about growing flowers and food together, combining abundance with elegance and colour.

In this event, Sarah shares the secrets behind year-round success, from sowing and selecting high-performing plants to designing gardens that overflow with scent, structure and seasonal interest. Packed with practical advice and hard-won wisdom, her approach makes even ambitious gardening feel achievable. Join Sarah for an inspiring and generously informative session that will change the way you garden, whether your patch is a windowsill or an acre – and send you home brimming with ideas, confidence and fingers greener than ever!
