What is that on the horizon - well, it's Spring of course. The klaxon for warmer, longer days is finally sounding and Head Gardeners Saul and Lucy are looking forward to it immensely. Spring is a wonderful time of year but also incredibly busy for all professional gardeners up and down the country as the gardens come alive with colour, texture and the occasional weed! Join them both as they navigate this beautiful time of year, bringing you the sights and sounds of Stonelands and East Donyland, as well as their home gardens and beyond.
For this very special episode we're catching up with Lucy, who along with Audley End Gardeners Gemma Sturges and Kelly Fowler, are designing and building a Grow Your Own Show Garden at BBC Gardeners World Autumn Fair at Audley End. The trio are very experienced gardeners, especially with Fruit and Veg, but have stepped outside their comfort Zone with this Show Garden Project. So we catch up with them to see how the initial design was decided, how they are choosing which Veg and Fruit to display, those nurseries and companies that are helping them and a very special cameo appearance from Terry Porter, Show garden Veg supremo who passed on some sage advice and also super secret tips (Not disclosed in this podcast!). So join us for the start of Lucy, Gemma and Kelly's Show Garden adventure.
