Pamela Warhurst originally spoke at Thinking Digital in 2012! Her fiery Northern spirit proved to be a huge hit with our audience as she discussed her work to convert wasted public spaces into community gardens.

Her organisation, Incredible Edible, has since gone on to create hundreds of chapters in the UK alone. A decade on we’ve invited Pam back to Thinking Digital to talk about her latest work.
