Diary of a Keen Gardener with Mary Keen
4 November 2025
Join us for a special evening with acclaimed garden designer and writer Mary Keen, as she introduces her new book Diary of a Keen Gardener.
“‘What’s your favourite garden?’ people ask. And when I answer, ‘Mine, of course,’ they look surprised.” – Mary Keen.
Best known for her internationally celebrated garden designs, Keen turns her attention in this intimate diary to the spaces she loves most – her own back garden and local allotment.
Charting a full year in the gardener’s calendar, Keen reflects on the everyday tasks, discoveries, and pleasures of nurturing plants, alongside the memories and stories they evoke. Her writing combines deep horticultural knowledge with warmth, wit, and curiosity, offering practical insights as well as a rich meditation on time, place, and community.
Joined in conversation with Non Morris, this is a chance to hear directly from one of Britain’s most respected gardening voices, promising to be an inspiring evening for gardeners and readers alike.
