    I was wondering the same. He seemed to have acres of beautiful gardens and a substantial house a year or so ago.

    Maybe he's letting it out on Airbnb :)

    Something to do with his wife, or family's, health I believe.
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    I think exactly the same whenever I see his new garden. He must have been hurting, having to leave the old acres, after all the space and work he put in. I understand he had a horti school there, in Lincs.

    Both his wife and daughter became very ill.

    How sad to hear - I wish them well.
    I like Adam as a GW presenter when he stands in for Monty and enjoy his clips on the show

    Very sorry to hear it. Did they shut down the school?

    I thought he just took on a bit too much and needed to downsize. Probably serendipitous if he's paying a mortgage. It's no bad thing to see him garden a space that's at least somewhat realistic for 99% of viewers!

    I just Googled this

    https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/property/1600905/why-Adam-Frost-moved-house-new-garden-gardeners-world-evg

    apparently he had a revelation about his work life balance and decided to scale back

    feels like it's only part of the story though - he  probably just realised he was living beyond his means! That last place must have been a fortune - I seem to remember his daughters also had horses there and thinking "where is all the money coming from??"
    Horses are incredibly expensive to keep

    I'm glad it's not illness though - unless he hasn't gone public about family situations which is understandable

    He is also doing noticibly less on GW

    He has done very well in his career.  Good luck to him and his family
