Autumn has arrived on the shores of the UK - a slight freshness to the mornings and a waning of the light signal that subtle change to the season. In the garden the peak colour and growth is starting to give way to the texture and autumnal colours that signal the slow, but beautiful descent, into a period of more dormant reflection. Autumn can be one of the most beautiful times of year and also a celebration of what has gone before, the present harvest of abundance but also the future excitement of gardening plans and work.
After a good break the Talking Heads duo are back - Head Gardeners Lucy and Saul have recharged their batteries after a long, dry and somewhat busy busy and are looking forward to Autumn and Winter in their respective gardens. FOr many that means protecting precious plants of all levels of hardiness. But what is Hardiness and how does it differ across the country? And how should that effect the level of protection you give your plants - are you a risk taker or experimentalists? Do you want to make sure your on the safe side for everything or is tailoring your plant choice to your microclimate more important? Lucy and Saul take a look at this complicated world on todays episode.
