The Sissinghurst Series presents activist, gardener, and National Trust ambassador Tayshan Hayden-Smith.
Friday 12 September | 3pm - 4pm
£25
Following the launch of Grow to Know's new campaign Closing the Green Gap, Tayshan interrogates the historical divide between public and private space in the context of British garden culture, asking who gets to access beauty, who decides what it looks like, and how green space can be reclaimed as a shared force for change.
From guerrilla gardening in Grenfell’s shadow to designing for communities locked out of land, Tayshan will explore how activism, culture, and care can reconnect people to place, and to each other.
This event is part of The Sissinghurst Series for 2025, a series of horticultural experts speaking on topical issues in the gardening world today.
About the speaker:
Tayshan Hayden-Smith is an activist, gardener, and National Trust Ambassador, who brings his perspective on what it means to cultivate beauty in a time of crisis, inequality, and renewal.
