Mike the Gardener - Gardening Podcast - Salvia Special (Nigel Hewish)


Listen Later

In this week's episode of the Mike the Gardener - Gardening Podcast, I return to Kingston Maurward, horticultural college, where I learnt my trade many, many years ago.

Nigel Hewish, the Head Gardener there, is responsible for the national collection of salvias held within the grounds of the college. What Nigel doesn't know about salvias frankly, isn't worth knowing.

In this informative episode, we chat about:

  • Where salvias originate from
  • How to grow them
  • How to propagate them
  • How to get the very best from them
  • Planting companions
  • Pests and diseases, and much more
  • My thanks to Nigel for taking time to come and talk to us today.

    If you want to know more about me and my own garden, you can follow me on my Instagram account, mike_the gardener

    My thanks to you for listening, and please don't forget to follow/subscribe as there are more great episodes to come.

    And, if you are able to, please leave a review so that other gardening enthusiasts can find us here.

    Thanks for listening and see you next week.
