Gardeners’ World star Adam Frost has issued an emotional goodbye after making a big change to his life. The star has left his Grade-II listed 18th century home behind, moving out in October 2025, but has finally opened up on making the move from the rural farmhouse with its two and a half acres of outdoor space.
In his new article for Gardeners’ World magazine, BBC star Adam explained: “If you're leaving your house and you've gotta leave the garden that you've loved for a long period of time... if you're like me, I wouldn't worry about it at all, I've done exactly that. We left in October, what have I taken with me?” Adam revealed he ended up containing “a few little bits” that he’d dug and divided, as well as his pots – but other than that, he “hasn’t bothered”.
The star added: “And you know, the beautiful things is, I went back to see the couple that have bought the garden and I walked around with them and they are absolutely loving it.
“And I think that's a great thing to hold on to, is the fact that maybe you've just left somebody else a whole load of joy."
“It was as if somebody had removed my footings. Emotionally, I was gone. Even my passion for gardening disappeared.”
Adam was diagnosed with burnout and depression by a psychiatrist, and he was put on medication. However, this also meant downsizing to a “much smaller” garden as he was seeing the amount of work he would have to put in.
