About

Natasha Morgan discusses her latest book, The Productive Garden Companion with Kate Seddon (Kate Seddon Landscape Design).

The Productive Garden Companion is a practical, reassuring and visually rich modern gardening book that meets gardeners wherever they are - from windowsill pots to generous acreage. Landscape architect and lifelong gardener Natasha Morgan shows how thoughtful design, seasonal rhythms and purposeful planting can transform any space. Part narrative, part landscape design bible, it traces Natasha's personal relationship with gardening and invites readers to see their own gardens as sources of productivity and creativity, as well as connection and healing.

Chatting to Kate Seddon of Kate Seddon Landscape Design, Natasha Morgan will discuss her seminal projects at Oak & Monkey Puzzle and Little Cottage on a Hill and the gardens along the way. Join us for a glass of sparkling and get guidance on soil, planting, preserving and sustainable practices with two industry experts. We will be serving Natasha Morgan's seasonal syrups mixed with Mineral Co sparkling mineral water as a non-alcoholic option.

The conversation will be followed by a signing.
