This week on our Gardeners’ World 2025 episode 7 recap, we discuss slug fun-facts including the first organism who’s scientific name is based on the welsh language, composting humans, 250 ton wisterias, Nigel Palfrey’s Dukes of Hazzard moment (available on the Patreon) and why do bugs like mating on Sweetpea?

We join Sue Kent in her place in Wales for some more plant experiments including sowing 40 year old seeds, before meeting the wonderful “Compost Michael” or Michael Kennard in Sussex to hear all about his genius Compost Club social enterprise. Molly in South East London is this week’s Your Gardens where we find out about her parents’ front garden as well as the beautiful floral imprints that she has been creating from their plants. Francis takes us to just outside Woking in Surrey to visit a National Collection of incredible wisteria and finally Karl Suchy gives us a tour of his fabulous garden inspired by a visit to Great Dixter.
