Dorset gardeners are in for a treat – renowned horticulturist and RHS Chelsea Flower Show Judge, Tamsin Westhorpe, comes to Wimborne for a special fundraising talk on Friday, 4th October. After her sell-out event last year, which raised over £900 for Wimborne Community Garden, Tamsin will once again share her experiences as a top garden writer, podcaster, and former editor of The English Garden magazine.
Titled “Life as a Garden Writer”, Tamsin’s talk promises to give attendees a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the world of garden journalism. ‘You’ll discover how the best gardens are found, what garden techniques are trending, and how to feel confident you’re reading the right magazine,’ says Tamsin. Known for her hands-on approach, Tamsin started her working life at 17-years-old, as one of the first female gardeners for Bournemouth Parks Department. She has since been listed among The Telegraph’s top 100 most influential female gardeners.
The talk will be held at Beaucroft College Hall, School Lane, Wimborne, from 7:30pm to 9:30pm. Tickets are £12 and include mulled apple juice and Dorset Apple Cake. There will also be a raffle to raise funds for Wimborne Community Garden.
Wimborne Community Garden, supported by Faithworks and founded in 2022, has transformed a piece of land into a thriving space with raised beds, fruit trees and vegetable patches. It provides fresh produce for local initiatives and offers a place for people to connect and develop gardening skills.
