The Instant Garden Book Launch / 24 March

We’re very pleased to be launching our first ever book this month. The Instant Garden, written by two of our founders – Henry Bartlam and Alexandra Hollingsworth – is a guide to easy, accessible gardening based on all of the principles we use when putting together our designs, Instant Beds, plant collections and pot packs for Dig. It’s a user-friendly, beautiful and helpful demystifier that we’re very proud of. 

To help us celebrate, we are having a very small book launch in Marlborough (near where I live) at the wonderful Willow and Wolf store. Come on down on Tuesday morning at 10am where I’ll be giving a spring planter demonstration and, if anyone really insists, maybe even signing a few copies.

Ideal Home Show with Cox and Cox / 10-14 April

Joining forces with our good friends at Cox & Cox we’re heading to the Ideal Home Show in 2026, at Kensington Olympia. We’ve done our fair share of shows over the years, but nothing of this scale – and we’re looking forward to combining our easy, inspiring plant combinations with the beautiful pots and furniture that Cox & Cox are famous for in the main Show Home.

I’ll also be doing a presentation on easy pot combinations on the main stage.

You can buy tickets for the Ideal Home Show here – and we look forward to seeing you there!

BBC Gardeners’ World Live / 18-21 June

One of the country’s biggest gardening shows, BBC Gardeners’ World Live, is a one-stop shop, huge convention and a bit of a paradise for gardening, gardeners, enthusiasts, experts and amateurs alike and we are very, very pleased to be exhibiting this year. It’s a huge step for us, and not without a fair investment of time and resource – but we’re so excited to be making it happen. We’ve always wanted to do it, and this year is the year. We’ll be displaying a Beautiful Border alongside our trade stand at the Birmingham NEC site and can’t wait for you to see it and come visit us.
