A Virtual Screening with Richard Mabey - The Accidental Garden

We tend to regard gardens as our personal dominions, to shape and cultivate as we desire. But these spaces, writes revered nature writer Richard Mabey, are also home to myriad other organisms, “living, often argumentative beings, with their own ambitions in life”.
The conflict between these two power bases, he suggests in his pithy and provocative new book, “The Accidental Garden” – deeply rooted in daily observations of his own garden – is a microcosm of what is happening in the wider world, making the garden a powerful metaphor for our troubled planet.
In this virtual screening, we’re thrilled to welcome Richard, live from his home in Norfolk, to the big screen at the Sub Rooms to discuss the garden as a place of cultural and ecological fusion.
