Introducing Roots...A new twice monthly video podcast, offering a sneak peak into the gardens of, or those important to, some of the nation’s best loved actors, comedians, chefs and horticulturists. Roots will explore how gardens can tell our life stories; the highs and the lows, the plants people love and the plants they’re not so keen on.

Hosted by the charity’s ambassador, radio DJ, and keen gardener Jo Whiley the half hour podcasts provide unfettered access to contributor’s gardens who explain how their tended spaces reflect their careers, passions and family life or a potted history of their gardening experience and skills in their favourite public space.

The first in the ongoing series features Richard E Grant from his South West London home. A keen perfumer Richard introduces his evergreen garden inspired by a childhood in Eswatini and set around old set props from multiple blockbuster films and an unmissable sculpture of his childhood idol.

Serving as a space for multiple generations of the family to relax and play the garden has hosted weddings and all-night A-list parties.
