Alan Titchmarsh visits The Serge Hill Project
18 September 2024

‘You’re looking at plantsmanship at the sharp end… you’ve got good plants and good growing... it’s a complete one off. There's nothing like it’ - Alan Titchmarsh of his first visit to Serge Hill

In September, Alan generously gave his time for a very special lunch with invited guests in The Apple House and a wander through The Plant Library, Prairie and Barn Garden.

The lunch was a chance for Tom Stuart-Smith and Sue Stuart-Smith in conversation with Alan Titchmarsh to update friends and supporters of The Serge Hill Project for Gardening, Creativity and Health on the progress made since its launch earlier this year.

After lunch, guests also listened an inspiring speech from Sunnyside Rural Trust CEO Keely Siddiqui-Charlick, about the long standing relationship Sunnyside Rural Trust has had with Tom and Sue. Guests also had the chance explore the new Orchard Nursery run by the trust, which will start propagating on site at The Serge Hill Project shortly.
