with Maggie Tran. Performance, Zen gardening, and the future of historical gardens.
from unfinishing · host Emily Anderson
Maggie has the enviable job of being the Head Gardener at the beautiful Bramdean House in Hampshire. We talk about overlaps between gardening and performance, why gardeners may not be as relaxed as you might think, and the future of historical gardens. Maggie’s love of gardening began 10 years ago when she started community gardening. It’s led her on a path that’s taken her gardening around the world. She had a colourful career before working at Bramdean. Among other things, she was an artist doing performance and experimental theatre, worked at the Royal Pavilion Gardens in Brighton, and was an RHS/ GCA Interchange Fellow at Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania, USA. As Maggie explains in the interview, she is also enthusiastic about sustainability and was awarded the Prince of Wales Trophy for Sustainable Horticulture in 2016. You can find out all about Maggie’s work via her blog, which is www.hortiventure.com. She’s also on instagram @hortiventure. ---------- I’m now recuiting guests for Series 2 of Unfinished/Unpublished. So if you have an unfinished or unpublished project that you’d like to talk about, email me, Emily Anderson at [email protected]. You can also get in touch via Twitter @TrueBagglerag.
