THE National Garden Scheme is delighted to announce tickets are now on sale for its Annual Lecture which this year will be online.

Tom and Sue Stuart-Smith are one of the most internationally distinguished and influential couples in the world of gardens and horticulture.

Tom has long been a universally renowned garden designer with public and private commissions worldwide and a string of gold-medal winning gardens at Chelsea Flower Show.

Sue has used her career as a psychiatrist and psychotherapist as the basis for her interest in the benefits of gardens for people’s mental and physical health and wellbeing which in 2020 she channelled into one of the most acclaimed garden books for many years, The Well Gardened Mind.

For both, a major source of inspiration for their careers has been the garden they have created together through their married life at The Barn in Hertfordshire, and their talk will weave together the fascinating story of their garden, family and their working lives.

The ticket price includes the online lecture followed by a live, interactive Q&A with Tom and Sue. In addition, thanks to the generosity of our Media Partner, each ticket purchase comes with a free digital copy of Gardens Illustrated the most stylish and influential garden design magazine in the UK.

Join Tom and Sue from the comfort of your home at 7pm on Wednesday, November 11. Tickets are £25 from ngs.org.uk
