About Claire Mitchell

"Your talk was so interesting, informative and entertaining. So many good ideas to keep our gardens full of colour all the year round and of course plants to buy which is always a pleasure! Thank you so much from all of us - we really did have one of the best meetings!"

A trained RHS horticulturalist with a passion for sustainability, I bring gardening into the 21st century in an environmentally-friendly, ethical way. I specialise in bringing the latest on climate-change to life in a non-scary, accessible method as well as plant combinations and planting design used in my work as The Garden Editor.

Engaging, inspiring and motivating, my talks are the antidote to panic buying plants at a garden centre when spring arrives, or feeling worried without knowing what to do when hosepipe bans hit.
