Why Women Grow: Live Podcast Recording with Hazel Gardiner

We are delighted to be hosting a live recording of the Why Women Grow podcast, with special guest Hazel Gardiner.

What draws women to the earth, and why do we garden? These are the questions author Alice Vincent and floral designer and broadcaster Hazel Gardiner will be discussing during a live recording for the Why Women Grow podcast. Hazel was the first woman interviewed for Alice’s bestselling book Why Women Grow in 2020.

Four years on and what began as a question – why do we grow – has blossomed into a critically acclaimed book, chart-topping podcast and, now, a photography exhibition at the Garden Museum opening 20 March 2024. Friends and sometimes colleagues, Alice and Hazel will delve into the personal tethers that keep bringing them back to the land in a lively, intimate and warm conversation.
