Owen Hayman - Horticulture Innovation Manager, Certified Surveyor of Japanese Knotweed, Open Water Swimmer, UK Nursery Aficionado, Ribena lover - joins us for this week’s episode of Chit-Chats. We learn about Wisley diplomas, the global rock stars of planting design - Nigel Dunnett and James Hitchmough, the invasive potential of plants, poo-powered ponies, how free-range chickens are threatening our wildflowers, how to swim in cold open water for longer, and which ornamental is the totally fabulous moody barbie of the plant world.
