As we continue to live in a fast-paced world driven by technology and commerce, we are increasingly facing a nature deficit as we disconnect from the natural rhythms of the world.
How can we adapt and regenerate ourselves in this new era?
This talk and Q&A by Arit Anderson will explore why gardens are essential for our health—physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Our public and community gardens can be the life and soul of towns and cities, places to nurture people as well as plants.
This event is part of The Sissinghurst Series for 2024, a series of horticultural experts speaking on topical issues in the gardening world today.
Arit is a landscape designer, writer, and TV presenter, regularly seen on BBC Gardeners’ World.
She is an Ambassador for the RHS Planet-Friendly Gardening Campaign and community gardening, and a Trustee for the National Garden Scheme, which raises funds for nursing and health charities.
She is a passionate communicator connecting people and place, raising awareness of the sensitive needs of the environment within a changing climate. She is the co-author of The Essential Tree Selection Guide and hosted the podcast Growing Greener on how to become a more sustainable gardener.
