About the talk
The Kitchen Garden at Chiswick House and Gardens has been a productive space for almost 350 years. It has recently been restored from decades of neglect by an innovative, local team, committed to re-invigorating this atmospheric and story-rich space for the future.
Rosie’s talk focuses on the legacy that she and her team seek to honour in their work to develop a Kitchen Garden for the future: extending into historic productive spaces designed for fruit, drawing on previous uses, and applying climate predictions to planting and landscape design.
