Author of The Bee Friendly Garden, three time Chelsea Flower Show veteran, international small farm and ecological landscape consultant, Kate Frey will join us for this very special garden talk.

Plant starts will be available including some used at the Chelsea Flower Show.

This Friday marks the return of The Movie Crush with our favorite cinematic curator, Warren Etheredge introducing us to ‘PROCESS’— part two of a four-part movie series: ART IN SHORT.

“How audiences and critics will receive an artist’s efforts is unpredictable, thus creators are wise to enjoy the process of making the work. Paint on canvas. Digital pen on tablet. Clay or camera in hand. Paper reimagined with twists or blades. The dedicated artists who invest in their particular, and sometimes peculiar, visions are enriched by the feel, the focus, the sweat, the hours. In this 75-minute* royal block of shorts, you’ll meet painters and the painted, doodlers and rappers, scientists and saviors, all of whom will show you… how it’s done.”
