Fritha Waters

The Experiences of a Jobbing Gardener.

You might see the gardener just once a week but what are they doing the rest of the time?

Fritha Waters leads you up the garden path of her time as a gardener and designer in Norfolk, her observances and experiences whilst working in the gardens of others. She examines how nostalgia and history influence our tastes and how gardening has crept into other aspects of her life, seemingly without her knowing it.
