Bea Andrews is no stranger to Perch Hill - she was head gardener for many years, and is now back in a new guise as our visiting florist, aka Botanika Flora.

It's a joy to welcome Bea back for this nostalgic episode of ‘grow, cook, eat, arrange’ with Sarah as she shares her fascinating background and route into horticulture in her native Hungary, the story of how she came to Perch Hill, and the inspiration she draws from the garden and the Sussex countryside in her stunning floral designs.

In this episode, discover:

• The early inspirations behind Bea’s journey into gardening, horticulture and floristry
• Fond memories of Perch Hill, her impeccable eye for colour, and humorous anecdotes from her time as head gardener
• What Bea looks for in seasonal cutting, and how she combines these flowers and foliage in her unique arrangements
