Award-winning British garden designer and BBC Gardeners’ World presenter Adam Frost brings his live show to the Queen’s Theatre in Barnstaple this Saturday (October 11).
In An Evening with Adam Frost, billed as his most personal show to date, the presenter, designer and author will discuss the plants that have shaped his life and reflect on what has brought him to where he is now.
He’ll unearth the inspiration he’s found through a life in the garden and from the people he’s met along the way.
Adam will share previously untold stories of how his passion for plants has taken him around the world and challenged him with unexpected experiences – from curating a garden in Japan during a monsoon to meeting heroes.
He’ll also highlight the music that has steered his furrow and why he identifies as an ‘old romantic fool’. He talks the audience through the soundtrack to his planting and why it inspired him.
Aside from BBC’s Gardeners’ World (BBC Two), Adam appears regularly on BBC coverage of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show and front films for Morning Live (BBC One). In 2016 he won ‘Best New Talent’ at the RTS West Awards.
Since 2007, Adam has amassed seven gold medals at the Chelsea Flower Show. He lectures on a wide range of horticultural topics, both nationally and internationally and is an ongoing contributor to Gardeners’ World Magazine, fronting their podcast.
His first book ‘Real Gardens’ was published in 2015 followed by ‘RHS How to Create your Garden: Ideas and Advice for Transforming your Outdoor Space’. In 2022 he published ‘The Creative Gardener’ (DK) and ‘How I Garden’ (BBC Books).
In 2014 Adam set up The Homebase Garden Academy with the specific aim of helping Britain’s next generation of horticulture students to kick-start their careers, by teaching them about garden design and landscaping.
As well as running his own garden design and landscape business he also sits on the Horticulture Trades Association and is an RHS Ambassador.
Adam and his wife Sulina live in Lincolnshire with their children and Ash the Cat.
An Evening With Adam Frost starts at 7.30pm. For more information and tickets, please go to https://queenstheatre-barnstaple.com
