“I’m so happy to be supporting this really important local charity,” said Adam.

“It does a huge amount for the community of Stamford and beyond, and I know just how importance mental health is.

“For me, my family and gardening have been a life-saver over some challenging times. I’m really looking forward to this evening – and hopefully raising plenty of money for the charity.”

Adam will be in conversation with MindSpace trustee Chris Young who is a gardens consultant and former editor of RHS The Garden magazine.

“We are so excited that Adam is supporting MindSpace with this event,” said Chris.

“We’ll be talking all things gardening, from his favourite plants to what it’s like to be a TV presenter, as well as encouraging questions from the floor on any gardening topic! It is set to be an intimate and very special occasion.”

Chris added: “Clinical research proves that for many people suffering from anxiety or mental health issues, being outside and part of nature really does help.

“As part of our community-based work, our Stamford Wellbeing Garden gives people access to a safe, beautiful and important outside space.”

Tickets for ‘An Evening with Adam Frost’ cost £40 each which includes a glass or two of crémant, or non-alcoholic drink, and canapés from the Rutland Nursery restaurant.

Doors open at 7pm, with a welcome from Beka Avery, trustees chairperson for MindSpace. Guests will have a chance to chat with Adam following the presentation.

With demand expected to be high, MindSpace is urging everyone to buy tickets early at https://mindspacestamford.com

Adam has agreed to answer gardening questions on the night, and those buying tickets have the opportunity to pose a plant, border or lawn query in advance.
