Dawn’s not a gardener yet... but the knee pad is calling. We
welcome Dawn O’Porter to our garden for an enlightening episode
that starts with a chat about Harry Styles and ends with a
conversation about Sandwich the tortoise. Two total icons in one
show. Dawn joins us as she embarks on a few new journeys
within her already incredible career. A writer, director and TV
presenter, Dawn is in the early days of her new gig for Classic FM,
where you can hear her on Saturday afternoons, from 12-3pm. She
also is celebrating the release of her new memoir, Hungry Eyes,
which looks at her favourite moments and memories associated with
great meals and ingredients. The book is so good Caitlin has read
it three times already. Dawn, who co-founded Choose Love, an
organisation which provides help and support for refugees and
displaced people, was born in Scotland and raised in Guernsey; two
great sources for outside inspiration and formative memories. She
now lives in Kew with her husband Chris O’Dowd and children, after
moving back to the UK from a life in Los Angeles. With Kew so
close by, we find out about Dawn’s relationship with gardening, the
power of the Guernsey cliffs, and why a Weeping Willow is her
favourite tree. Let us know if you’re enjoying Outsiding and
please send us your favourite outside places, memories, smells and
gardening questions to hello@outsiding.co.uk Follow Outsiding on
Substack for gardening tips, tricks, upcoming live Q&As with
Adam and the progress of Caitlin’s garden project. Find us on
Instagram too. You can watch full episodes of Outsiding on
Spotify and YouTube. Outsiding is a Cold Glass Production.
