Following the success of last year’s Spring Seminar, we are delighted this year to have secured two great guest presenters. The theme for the event will be trees and wildlife in our green spaces.

CHRIS COLLINS – Chris Collins began life as a gardener with a traditional style apprenticeship with Brighton Parks & Gardens in the mid-eighties, going on to do his degree at the Royal Botanic garden, Edinburgh. He spent 2 years at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, between 1999 and 2012 he was Head Gardener at Westminster Abbey.. Chris was the Blue Peter Gardener for 9 years. In recent years he presented the science documentary on BBC4 ‘The wonder of Weeds’ and BBC 3’s young gardener of the year.

KATE BRADBURY – Kate Bradbury is passionate about organic, wildlife-friendly gardening and gardens on a small patch of land in Brighton. She is the author of The Wildlife Gardener, and writes for a number of publications including the Guardian. She can occasionally be heard talking about garden wildlife on Gardeners’ Question Time.
