We have to give a massive shout out to our friends at Imploding Fictions for their brand new series…
The Amelia Project
Have you had a listen yet?
The Amelia Project is an audio drama podcast that offers a very special service – they can make their clients disappear, giving them the chance to start over!
The trouble is – how long can this new secret life last?
We have had great pleasure in working with Imploding Fictions, who have written this fantastic new podcast, over many years. They have supported our work at Modern Mint and always listened as we shared what we were up to in the garden.

Date is tomorrow, April 16th 2024, and you can get a ticket for the Zoom meeting here – Topiary Hotline. Run by Chris Poole and myself, we set this up as an antidote to the huge amount of questions we have to answer about topiary throughout the summer. The plus is that their is an excitement around topiary and pruning. The problem is we need to help people in a better way… … so we will be giving people …
