Award-winning British garden designer and BBC Gardeners’ World presenter, Adam Frost, is leaving the garden and heading back out on tour in 2025.
The tour, split into two parts, starts on Friday 14th March at Newark’s Palace Theatre and culminates on Friday 26th September at Edinburgh’s Assembly Rooms. His new book ‘For the Love of Plants: Over 150 plants to bring joy to your garden and your life’ is published by DK on 13th March 2025.
Adam says: “I cannot wait to get out on the road for my second tour of the UK. I love how the live shows allow you to connect with the audience in a different way. The show will tell stories of gardens, people, music and places.
“And they will hopefully put a smile on your faces! Look forward to seeing you all there!” In his most personal show to date, Adam will discuss the plants that have shaped his life and reflect on what’s brought him to where he is now.
He’ll unearth the inspiration he’s found through a life in the garden and from the people he’s met along the way. Adam will share previously untold stories of how his passion for plants has taken him around the world and challenged him with unexpected experiences – from curating a garden in Japan during a monsoon to meeting heroes.
In a new twist he will highlight the music that’s steered his course and why he identifies as an ‘old romantic fool’. He talks the audience through the soundtrack to his planting, taking inspiration from music that includes Louis Armstrong’s ‘What A Wonderful World’, You’ll Never Walk Alone by Marcus Mumford and ‘There’d Better be a Mirrorball’ by The Arctic Monkeys.
He also has songs that capture his love for each specific area of the garden, that includes The Killers ‘Mr. Brightside’, Richard Ashcroft ‘Lucky Man’, Rolling Stones ‘Dreamy Skies’ and Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Secret Garden’. Adam Frost is an award-winning British garden designer, author and TV presenter.
Aside from BBC’s Gardeners’ World (BBC Two), he appears regularly on the BBC’s coverage of RHS Chelsea Flower Show and front films for Morning Live (BBC One). In 2016 he won ‘Best New Talent’ at the RTS West Awards.
Since 2007, Adam has amassed seven gold medals at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. He lectures on a wide range of horticultural topics, both nationally and internationally and is an ongoing contributor to Gardeners’ World Magazine, fronting their podcast.
His first book ‘Real Gardens’ was published in 2015 followed by ‘RHS How to Create your Garden: Ideas and Advice for Transforming your Outdoor Space’. In 2022 he published ‘The Creative Gardener’ (DK) and ‘How I Garden’ (BBC Books).
In 2014 Adam set up The Homebase Garden Academy with the specific aim of helping Britain’s next generation of horticulture students to kick-start their careers, by teaching them about garden design and landscaping. As well as running his own garden design and landscape business he also sits on the Horticulture Trades Association and is an RHS Ambassador.
