Instagarden: Social Media’s Impact on Gardens and Gardening

Social media has made gardens, gardening, and gardeners more accessible than ever before.

We are now able to visit gardens all over the world and learn from gardening experts from the comfort of our smartphones. The ways in which we find and filter inspiration have changed, but is the experience of visiting a garden in-person irreplaceable? Is social media a tool that drives us towards or away from visiting gardens and engaging with our spaces? What can those who share gardening content on social media tell us about its power and influence?

Explore this brave new world in the InstaGarden talk with garden designer Jo Thompson (@jothompsongarden), garden designer and writer Sean Pritchard (@sean_anthony_pritchard), and Iford Manor Head Gardener Steve Lannin (@stevelannin).
