Sarah Wain lecture tour

Meet us at one of the Digger's spring lecture and lunch events 2010 - Celebrating the modern kitchen garden. Join our special guest Sarah Wain and Clive Blazey for lunch and lecture to learn about ideas and plants to create your own.

Clive Blazey and the Digger's team are thrilled to have esteemed ornamental kitchen gardener Sarah Wain return to Australia in October this year to meet gardeners and Digger's members at a series of lunches and lectures in capital cities and country gardens.

Sarah Wain, one of Australia's most talented horticultural exports has made her home in England for the past 19 years and along with husband Jim Buckland, has created one of the world's most beautiful vegetable gardens at West Dean, Chichester. Sarah's vision, sense of design and style have transformed an interesting historic garden into one of the finest. "We are indeed extremely lucky to have Sarah, an extraordinarily talented and visionary gardener, come back to Australia and share her knowledge and skills," says Clive Blazey.
