With plenty of advice and amusing stories, Adam frost will regale his audience with the story of his life in gardening, from first discovering a fascination with watching plants and vegetables grow in his grandparents’ garden to working with Geoff Hamilton and his extraordinary achievement in winning seven gold medals at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
