Description

The world-renowned horticulturalist Adrian Bloom was my featured guest for this lively discussion centered around his new book, Foggy Bottom – A Garden to Share. Packed with spectacular photographs of Foggy Bottom – a magical collection of conifers, heathers, perennials, grasses, shrubs, and trees that will have you gasping – Adrian entertained and educated us with his journey from transforming an open meadow to a highly acclaimed masterpiece. He also shared some of his favorite plants as well as design tips, plus answered questions at the end.

Adrian Bloom is a legend in the gardening world. He has won numerous garden awards, written more than 10 inspirational gardening books, appeared on countless TV shows, including more recently in Carol Klein’s 2021 ‘Great British Garden’ series, and developed Foggy Bottom – a breathtaking 6-acre collection of gardens featuring his favorite plant combinations for stunning year-round color. This garden, combined with his father Alan Bloom’s 6 acres of island perennial beds, make up The Bressingham Gardens, a destination public garden in Diss, England.  Adrian has also designed and planted gardens in several countries, including the MassHortGarden at Elm Bank (Wellesley, MA) and The Steven M. Still Perennial Garden at Chadwick Arboretum (Columbus, OH).
