James Hitchmough’s New Garden

James Hitchmough will talk about the process of making his new garden in Somerset. The new garden is part done; the field, with its wildflower meadows, and many closely planted “orchard like” trees (or “coppice woodpasture”) is now in place and the garden around the house has most of its new bones. His aim is to boost biodiversity, to respond positively and creatively to climate change, plant lots of different trees (lignin therapy), in the right places; and beneath these, restore an area of meadowland to what it might once have been or better. Also to have some fun, to choreograph great seasonal drama on the stage that is the garden, his home version of the “wow factor” that has been the hallmark of his life’s work.

Time: 18:00 BST
