Ade Sellars AKA ‘The Good Life Gardener’ is an award-winning garden writer, garden designer, presenter and filmmaker, with a passion for growing food in his kitchen garden.

After working in London as a TV editor and director for many years, he re-trained with the RHS at Capel Manor before upping sticks and moving to the heart of rural Suffolk to build the kitchen garden of his dreams and launch a media and gardening business.

As well as a regular gardening presenter on the QVC channel, Ade hosted the Urban Gardening Stage at Gardeners’ World Live at the Birmingham NEC in June 2024.

The winner of The Beth Chatto Environmental Award 2023, Ade writes for several gardening magazines and gives talks and demonstrations around the country, as well as creating film content for garden shows and brands. Having filmed and created his YouTube gardening mini-series Down The Garden Path, it was picked up by ITV’s Alan Titchmarsh’s Gardening Club earlier this year and shown weekly on the programme.

Sara Ward has transformed her Victorian terraced house in London into an urban smallholding, ‘Hen Corner’, complete with chickens, honeybees, fruit trees and overflowing veg patches. Last year they harvested £3,000 worth of food from their back garden. Her recent book ‘Living the Good Life in the City’ shares some of the ways she and her family have brought city and country together, and shows that you, too, can make a difference to how you live and the food you eat.

Frances is involved with the RHS campaign for school gardening and is passionate about enthusing young people to get into horticulture.  She is working on a number of community gardening projects in the South West and is also helping the redevelopment of some costal gardens that were damaged by the 2014 storms.  This is a particular passion of hers having grown up by the sea and was also part of her degree specialisation.

Frances is a popular choice for gardening talks and has appeared at Blenheim Palace Flower Show, Hampton Court Flower Show and the Eden Project Green Fingers Festival to name a few.  Hailing from Deal in Kent, Frances now lives in Exeter having completed her BSc in Horticulture with Plantmanship at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh in 2013.  Frances got into gardening from an early age, helping out around the garden at home and after overly ambitiously designing a terraced landscape in a planter, given to her by her mum, age 7, she was hooked.  As well as all things gardening Frances is a budding crafter and currently doing a pottery course.

Frances’ first book, First Time Gardener, was published in 2015 and her 2nd book, Container Gardening will be published in April this year.  She has also written a column for Coast magazine on highs and lows of coastal gardening.
