What You'll Learn
Garden Legends on Jimi Blake

Here's what the biggest names in gardening had to say about Jimi, after being mesmerised by what they saw at Hunting Brook.

"Hunting Brook is a garden that is endlessly beguiling and however many times you visit it, you always find something new."

Monty Don OBE

Presenter, Gardeners' World | Best-Selling Author | Editor

“What a real joy to discover both a treasure where the individual exotic plants excite and a collection that is both sensitively and imaginatively composed. All sculpted and tended by a gardener who positively overflows with enthusiasm.”

Chris Beardshaw

Garden Designer | Speaker | Author | Presenter

"To lovely Jimi, words fail me for once. Thank you for being such a huge inspiration and such a giggle. You make me love plants twice as much and all over again"

Carol Ann Klein VMH

Gardening Expert | Author | Presenter

“Hunting Brook is the best teaching venue in the country”

Denis Cotter

Celebrity Chef | Author | Owner, Café Paradiso

“A taste for the exotic, a sense of adventure and a willingness to experiment has inspired a devoted plant-hunter to transform 20 acres of Irish farmland into lush garden to showcase his impressive collection. His approach is adventurous, exotic, naturalistic and experimental.”

Paula McWaters

Country Living Magazine
