Caroline Quentin talks to Tamsin Westhorpe

The winter months don’t mean an outdoor space can’t be a source of comfort and solace, as Caroline Quentin argues in this event. The actress, drawing on her life-long passion for gardening, talks to Tamsin Westhorpe about the joy she gets from spending time in her garden, whether she’s grappling with the best way to grow plants and vegetables or raising seeds in her potting shed.

Quentin shares stories from her lifetime of gardening – from thieving blackbirds to singing to dragonflies – and shares tips and tricks that can be used all year round. Known for her roles in TV shows including Men Behaving Badly, Bridgerton and Jonathan Creek, Quentin is the author of Drawn to the Garden, a collection of stories, advice, recipes and poems about her love for gardening. Westhorpe is the editor of the Horticultural Trade Association magazine and curator and gardener of Stockton Bury Gardens, Herefordshire.
