Adam and his wife Sulina live in Lincolnshire with their four children, one horse, two ponies, two dogs and an ancient cat. Adam's garden is filled with delicious produce, but there was something else that the presented wanted to add to his edible planting scheme: juicy blackberries. In 2014 Adam set up The Homebase Garden Academy with the specific aim of helping Britain’s next generation of horticulture students to kick-start their careers, by teaching them about garden design and landscaping, with his Chelsea Sponsor Homebase and in 2016 he joined Gardeners' World along side Monty Don as a presenter something he put down to Nick Knowles. He is also an author and his book Real Gardens tells the journey of his award-winning Chelsea gardens.

Adam Frost (born September 1969) [1] is a British garden designer [2] known for his successes at the Chelsea Flower Show and as a presenter on the BBC's Gardeners' World. The Chelsea Flower Show garden designer was previously living at his sprawling Lincolnshire farmhouse, but said he moved house earlier this year to 'slow down' and spend more time with his family. In 2014, Adam played an instrumental role in setting up the Homebase Garden Academy - a programme that offers people aged 16 and above the chance to learn from Frost about garden planning and design. I went to the doctors about Covid and ended up having some sort of break down – I realised I had burn out and depression which came completely out of the blue but I think had been building up for years,” says the father of four. Adam's inspiring book will guide you through all you need to make your garden thrive, and to use it to develop your own traditions and meaningful moments.

He remains passionate about inspiring adults and children alike to start their own horticultural journeys, and also of the power of gardening to help people’s mental and physical wellbeing.

Last time you were here, we were lifting that turf up when I said I wanted to create a little seating area tucked back in here,' said Adam, reminding fans of his dream for this space. He made holes around 3cm deep in the soil and popped in small butterbaby (winter squash) seeds, covering the holes with peat-free compost. I've started my veg garden and I think the first thing I want to do over the next couple of months is go and visit other veg gardens to get some inspiration.
