Not Just a Garden

Gardeners' World 2025 Recap: Ep 12


Listen Later

This week we discuss bird soundtracks on Gardeners’ World, which magnesium supplement aids sleep (and which one categorically doesn’t), the lesser known G5 Aston Martin, anting, which plants might counteract the negative impacts of microplastics, how AI could be redeeming itself, and Sweetpea finally gets to the end of her pineapple trilogy.


Adam Frost takes us to the stunning Bedfords Park Walled Garden to meet the inspirational Lois Amos and her team of volunteers including Maxine, Pam Ditzel and Fay Chapman.  Andrew Jackson shows us his impressive new build garden in Beverley before we head over to Nick Bailey’s place to talk about making a meter matter and he shows us his exciting plans for the GW Live Headline Garden.  Finally we meet Elonor Tivey who gives us some top tips about growing peonies from her beautiful peony farm in Breedon on the Hill in Derby.
