Flowers bring beauty, joy and sustenance. The cultivation of flowers is a creative gateway, allowing us to discover profound and surprising truths about ourselves. Everyone needs flowers in their life.

This February, join plant lover and author Jac Semmler as she uproots what we know about gardening, and digs into the perennial importance of flowers in our homes, communities and cities.

Over a three-course flower-inspired menu curated by The Moat, Semmler will discuss the relationship between beauty and practicality in gardening, investigate cultivating gardens in the face of climate change, and share her thoughts on the role of plants in our lives.

With a focus on abundant flora, Semmler’s book Super Bloom and its companion, The Super Bloom Handbook, offer a how-to guide for gardening that emphasises the critical role flowers play in our lives.

All tickets include a three-course plant-based meal and a glass of wine on arrival. Gluten free options available.
