Tulip tips, a mature tree discussion, less than mature chicken discussion and Martin takes a trip to Bardney Manor & meets Samantha, who shares her ambitious plans to transform its historic gardens. From a pavilion-turned-tea-room to Tennyson-inspired Secret Gardens, her vision celebrates heritage and community engagement. Meanwhile, Sean, Martin, and Jill share seasonal gardening tips, including the best time for planting tulips, starting sweet peas, and managing garden pests. Join us for a mix of history, horticulture, and practical gardening wisdom!
