AMA with Andrew Jackson

Download Event to Calendar

Join us on Tuesday 6th October for an AMA with garden writer, designer and Garden Media Guild New Talent Award winner Andrew Jackson. Andrew will be sharing his journey into garden writing and design and the story behind his New Build Manifesto campaign. This is a fantastic opportunity to hear from one of the industry's most exciting new voices.

Andrew Jackson is a UK-based garden writer, designer and campaigner specialising in new-build gardens and nature-led design. Winner of the Garden Media Guild New Talent Award 2025, Andrew is the founder of The New Build Manifesto, a campaign encouraging better-designed, more biodiverse outdoor spaces in new housing developments. He has written for publications including Gardeners' World, Amateur Gardening, Yorkshire Life and Living North, has appeared on BBC Gardeners' World, and is Writer in Residence at Helmsley Walled Garden.

Ask Andrew anything about:

  • Building an authentic gardening brand and growing your profile across social media, print, television and podcasts.
  • Pitching editors, writing for gardening publications, and what actually gets commissioned.
  • His experience of winning the GMG Alan Titchmarsh New Talent Award and how this recognition has helped bring him new opportunities.
  • Why new-build, suburban and smaller gardens deserve greater recognition, and how gardening can become more relevant to wider audiences through conversations around housing, wellbeing, biodiversity and community.
  • The future of garden media, and how magazines, newsletters, podcasts, books and social media can complement rather than compete with one another.

The 'Ask Me Anything' series of webinars offers unique opportunities to hear from those actively working, adapting and succeeding in the gardening media today.

So come along with your questions and make the most of the opportunity to find out more from Andrew.
