About the event
Drinks & supper from 6.30pm.
St Petersburg is one the world's most beautiful cities. Most of its baroque and neoclassical palaces and churches are modelled on those of Italy and France, originally inspired by the temples of classical Greek and Rome. Yet, it is situated in a swamp.... Neil speaks with passion about one of his favourite cities, and with its somewhat turbulent history makes for a fascinating talk. Luckily for GROW Neil's other passion is his own garden, from which he derives much pleasure and promoted him to offer this talk.
To make this an unforgetable event we are introducing Holly's Kitchen Garden, who is kindly serving seasonal dishes from her unique beautifully restored French Van. Holly has been a continued supporter of our charity and will donate any profits to GROW. See some of her temptations..Holly's temptations
