Join us for an evening of conversation with national treasure Mary Keen, one of Britain's most beloved Gardeners, to celebrate her new book Diary of a Keen Gardener.
Mary Keen is the Annie Ernaux of the herbaceous border. She has vast reserves of knowledge, an exemplary eye and best of all a roving curiosity and rare openness to experiment and change. A gorgeous, constantly thought-provoking book, beguiling for gardeners and readers alike - Olivia Laing
In her diary of a year in her Somerset garden, Mary Keen is an utterly beguiling mixture of the expert, the enthusiast and the evangelist - Richard Eyre
A gem of a book. Full of wisdom, warmth and inspiration. I learned something from every page -Nigel Slater
A delightful book - warm, witty and wise - Alan Titchmarsh
A beautiful refraction of a year, encounters with plants and friends and gardens in the terrific company of Mary Keen. Her diary is a pure delight -Edmund de Waal
A sparkling gem, an exquisite, intimate joy of a book! To be immersed in Mary Keen's gardening year, guided by her expert and passionate voice, is a gateway into a profound celebration of the magic of the earth and the deepest kind of happiness. I lingered over every sentence, and then went back to read it all over again -Juliet Nicolson
