Juliet Sargeant has a BA (Hons) in Garden Design and is a Registered Fellow of the Society of Garden Designers (UK). Juliet acts as an RHS show garden judge and is a familiar face on British television gardening programs. Her BIPOC Hort lecture titled "Why Gardens Matter" will be a reflection on 30 years of work as a garden designer, outlining some projects that have been important to her in transforming people’s lives and the way that they relate to their gardens and the wider landscape. Juliet won the 2016 Gold Medal at the Chelsea Flower Show, as well as The People’s Choice Award for her Modern Slavery Garden. BIPOC Hort is honored to have Ms. Sargeant as the first speaker in our public lecture series. Learn more about her at www.julietsargeant.com. Lecture registration and fee information will be shared in the near future.
