Adam Frost is a landscape designer, gardener, television presenter and inspirational speaker. He is renowned for his award-winning gardens at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show and for presenting on BBC Gardeners’ World.
He began gardening as child while growing up in Essex and was greatly influenced by his grandparents. Having started out training in traditional horticulture with a parks’ department in Devon, he went on to build and design gardens. A pivotal time in his career began when, aged 21, he began working for the great organic gardener and tv presenter Geoff Hamilton. He encouraged Adam to train with the highly regarded designer David Stevens. Following Geoff’s unexpected death in 1996, Adam set up his own build and design company, going on to create gardens at the Chelsea Flower Show. In 2016 Adam began presenting for BBC Gardener’s World. He has written 4 best selling books and is a popular public speaker.
Today Adam’s design practice takes on projects big and small around the world, including private, commercial and public gardens. It’s important to him that he continues to oversee every piece of design that leaves the studio. His aim is to create gardens that people really want to spend time in.
He firmly believes that we can find inspiration all around us. He feels fortunate that his work presenting on tv, writing and public speaking, means he’s constantly meeting new people, seeing gardens and traveling the world. All of this helps feed his design work and keeps his thinking fresh.
Adam is married with four kids, three dogs and Ash the cat. Alongside gardening and family life, he loves music, cooking, sport and particularly football.
Today gardens provide him with a strong connection to the past, as well as a place to spend time with family and friends, cooking having fun and creating new memories.
