Join us to celebrate the launch of award winning writer and wildlife gardening expert Kate Bradbury’s new book, One Garden Against the World: In Search of Hope in a Changing Climate.
In it, Kate offers us an uplifting path forward by sharing how she’s taking a stand against the climate crisis in her own garden.
How do we look for positive ways to keep going in a changing world? Climate anxiety is at an all-time high and can leave us feeling powerless to make a difference – particularly when living in the UK, one of the most nature depleted countries in the world. With an infectious and inspirational love for the natural world, Kate’s story shows us why we should all care, along with how anyone can make changes to our outdoor spaces, no matter how big or small, to create lasting, meaningful change for nature, both here and the world over.
Kate will be joined in conversation by nature writer Melissa Harrison.
Why not stay for dinner and treat yourself to our award-winning Garden Café? We recommend pre-booking a table to guarantee your space.
