#73 - Gardening Sustainably: Learning From The Experts At Gardeners' World Live
It's a very special edition of the show this week as Karen and Producer Tom venture out of the studio and off to 'Gardeners' World Live' to chat to two remarkable gardeners. First up is Malcolm Moodie, chairman and vice president of the Solihull and District Orchid Society, who discusses why orchids are unique in their water needs and also shares tips on conserving this precious resource in the garden. And then we chat with Josh Fenton, who gives 'Waterfall' a personal tour of his wildly inventive and inspiringly water-efficient garden, Lunatica.
