Mat Reese looks back on his career at gardens such as Wisley, Kew, Great Dixter and Malverleys

One of today’s most inventive and exciting gardeners, Mat Reese has learnt his craft at well-known gardens such as Wisley, Kew, Great Dixter and Malverleys. Join Reese as he reflects on his experiences travelling the world as a ‘plant hunter’ and shares his gardening influences such as Christopher Lloyd, an early pioneer of meadow planting, and Vita Sackville-West’s Sissinghurst garden. In conversation with Charleston’s head gardener Harry Hoblyn, Reese will discuss his work at Malverleys, which is now regarded as a masterpiece of horticultural experimentation, cultivation and wildness.
