Our first meeting of 2026 on Saturday 10th January

‘Stockton Bury Gardens through the seasons’ – Tamsin Westhorpe

Tamsin is an experienced horticultural journalist, gardener and lecturer. She is also one of the judges at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. She has written two books: Diary of a Modern Country Gardener (available in paperback and illustrated hardback) and Grasping the Nettle: Tales from a Modern Country Gardener.

Her first book, Diary of a Modern Country Gardener, became a bestseller on Amazon reaching number one in the top ten horticultural books just a few weeks after being released. The book was also selected as “Book of the week” by The Daily Mail. It’s a humorous read packed with gardening tips. And her second book is a delightfully funny memoir about her career in horticulture – making a living with constantly muddy fingernails, steel toe-capped boots and a can-do gardening attitude.
