In this episode, Katy Merrington, cultural gardener at The Hepworth Wakefield gallery garden in Yorkshire, constructs her dream garden - in fact, her dream world, which is a place where the streets of our towns and cities are green and welcoming. Discover who would be on Katy’s ultimate fantasy gardening team; why she thinks we need to reconsider ivy; and what a napping tree is. Tune in to learn how she manages looking after an urban space that’s open 24/7, 365 days a year; why the north of England is the place to be for gardeners right now; about her magical cup of tea that is always the right temperature; and her wish for a hose that never kinks.
