Spring is the season when gardeners throw off the hibernation and slumber of months of wet feet, many layers and waterproofs and are reborn anew! The stirring of life in the garden is one of the years great experiences, and makes a gardening life such a worthwhile pursuit, not only is it good for the planet to see the earth greening up, it is also good for the gardeners soul. But there is still lots of hard work to get on with - seeds have to be sown, mulch laid, supports erected and lawns mown. So join Lucy and Saul as they continue their professional gardening lives in the pure heaven that is Spring!

Everyone has their indicator that spring is here - some believe the first hint of Hawthorn Blossom is the start, optimists believe that its the first sign of Daffodils, but some wait until the risk of frost has definitely past. Whatever your sign of spring it's definitely an exciting time in the garden as the accelerator pedal of growth slowly fires up the engine on our favourite flowers and plants. So join Lucy and Saul as they talk about their favourite signs of Spring but also discuss some of the practical elements of gardening that for a professional gardener well and truly mean the early part of the gardening season is upon us!
