About Leigh Johnstone

I am a theatre director turned award winning garden designer who rediscovered my passion for plants during the Covid-19 pandemic. I transform outdoor spaces into havens of tranquility, creating gardens that make people feel good, sanctuaries that soothe and restore. My designs have won environmental awards as well as gold medals at garden shows. I am passionate about spreading the joy of gardening to as many individuals as possible and run various community projects and outreach programmes. I have worked with shopping centres, museums, housing associations and local authorities on projects that give people the chance to dive into the soil and cultivate their connection with nature.I am a seasoned presenter and public speaker, having hosted stages and talks for BBC Gardeners' World and the Royal Horticultural Society. I am popular on social media (@beardygardener) and an active mental health campaigner, using my past struggles to advocate for the power of gardening to improve wellbeing. I have appeared on BBC Gardeners’ World, BBC News, Radio 5 Live and LBC. I have featured in The New York Times, The Mirror, I write for various newspapers and magazines and am a contributor to various wellbeing and horticultural podcasts.

    Fluid Motion is a mental health theatre company based in Basingstoke, Hampshire. We create performances on a wide range of mental health themes as well as delivering education and community work. ​The company was founded in 2010 by Leigh Johnstone and Ali Gill who wanted to use theatre to help express their own experiences of poor mental health. Their vision was to use the arts as a tool for helping open up the conversation around mental health and challenge the stigma. ​We make theatre that puts human experience front and centre. Using our distinctive autobiographical style our performances are playful, energetic and thought provoking. We shine a stage light on mental health. We work in communities to provide meaningful arts experiences that give local people a voice. We provide opportunities for children and young people to express themselves through the arts.
