My diary this week knits together several disparate events to show how plants and flowers can be transformative in so many ways. I’ve been up in Manchester talking to someone who is determined to help transform our urban spaces with planting; I spent five hours in a church arranging home-grown flowers for a funeral; I whizzed up to Cumbria and back to see an extraordinary garden made for the employees of the New Balance factory; and in total contrast I had lunch at the Ritz in the newly designed Secret Garden. I love this about my job - and life in general. I can be in so many different places in a week meeting people from all walks of life, and the one common denominator is plants.
