Book Signing with Lucy Bellamy
Meet former editor of Gardens Illustrated Magazine, Lucy Bellamy as she signs copies of her latest book, Colour in the Garden from 11am until 1pm.

When you add colour to a garden, it instantly creates atmosphere — joyful, serene, vibrant, or peaceful. But while many of us know the shades we love, choosing the right plants to realise those visions can be less straightforward.
In her inspirational new book, Colour in the Garden, Lucy Bellamy offers a fresh, contemporary guide to using colour creatively, even in the smallest of spaces. Whether you are dreaming of a bold container display, reimagining a compact back garden, or looking to refresh a sunny front step, Lucy’s advice will help you bring your garden to life with colour and style.
During her visit, Lucy will be on hand to talk informally about her ideas, answer your questions, and sign copies of Colour in the Garden — a beautifully photographed and practical guide that promises to change the way you think about your outdoor space.
