The Burton and Rossett Horticultural Society (BRHS), is once again hosting one of its ‘An Evening with …’ events.

After a break of a few years due to the Covid pandemic, the BRHS is ready to host another event, with a familiar face returning. 

By popular request Chris Beardshaw is returning on February 22 - his visit in 2015 was a sell-out and greatly enjoyed event.

These events started in 2015 and have included fascinating talks by a number of TV and Radio Gardening Celebrities, including Christine Walkden, Bob Flowerdew, Anne Swithinbank and Joe Swift.

His broadcasting career spans 20 years and includes BBC Radio 4’s Gardeners’ Question Time and TV programmes such as The Flying Gardener, Gardeners’ World, Hidden Gardens and Beechgrove.

Chris is also a celebrated Garden Designer and has won nine Gold Medals at the Chelsea Flower Show. His first was won way back in 1999 and his latest wins were for the Morgan Stanley Garden in 2019 and the RNLI Garden in 2022.

The theme for Chris’s talk will be ‘Painting with Plants’ and this will be followed by a Q&A session.

The event will be held at Darland High School, Rossett on Wednesday, February 22 at 7pm and tickets are available online at www.brhs.org.uk/chris or by calling David Weir on 01244 571353.
