Autumn is here on the Talking Heads podcast - as the last vestiges of Summer in the garden dodge the wet and windy weather while trying to give the last hurrah before that inevitable but pleasantly seasonable slide into the hibernation of winter. But gardeners never sleep so Lucy and Saul are still out and about in their plots plying the horticultural trade they both love. So join them both for more horti-waffle and insights into the life of the modern, professional gardener.

Last week, Lucy and Saul were posed an excellent listener question: Jo asks - how did we progress into our head gardening roles and the associated people management? What were the difficulties, were we given any training, and how did we find the experience? Well Jo, consider your question answered! The blessing of this horticultural industry is that everybody can experience different scenarios - and Saul and Lucy are no different. Oh, but we do both offer excellent green woodpecker experiences as part of our apprenticeships...
