Talk: Between a Bog and a Hard Rock

Christina shows in this talk the development and inspiration behind the making of Dyffryn Fernant Garden, which she started from a wilderness in 1996.

Dyffryn Fernant, Christina’s garden, is a personal statement, her response to the landscape in which it sits, under the Preseli hills, one mile from the sea in Pembrokeshire. In this richly illustrated talk, ‘Between a Bog and a Hard Rock’, she explains the motivation behind the making of it, how she dealt with various inhospitable environments, some of her triumphs and disasters, hopes and desires for the future.

“I found it fascinating, a good story well told and beautifully illustrated. All I’ve heard from other members is along the same lines: ‘delightful’, ‘inspiring’, etc.”
Alex Siddall, Reading Gardeners

The talk lasts approximately one hour with a power point presentation of photographs throughout.
