May 17, 2024 Anne Swithinbank - Gardening Royalty!
Hello and welcome back to a brand-new season - we’re back for a whopping sixth season of the podcast with new guests and brand-new stories and conversations and this time I'm using this as my chance to celebrate the amazing women of horticulture with a season I'm calling 'A Celebration of Women in Plants'!
Often, within gardening – we’re surrounded by so much knowledge that it's tough to know where to start! For me, when I found my love of gardening there was one place that informed me perhaps more than anywhere else and that was BBC Radio 4’s Gardener’s Question Time. In this week’s episode I’m joined by the longest serving member of the panel, writer and houseplant expert Anne Swithinbank. Anne has been on GQT for over 30 years now, and she’s enjoyed every second of her time so we’ve got plenty to talk about here. Anne shares her tales of GQT, how our attitudes to gardening have changed over time and much more.

You can find out more from Anne by following her on Instagram and Twitter or X where you’ll find her on both as @anneswithinbank.

So many of us grow so many wonderful flowers in our gardens and on our allotments, and if you’re anything like me then you’ll cut a great deal to bring indoors.

Alice Hare is a luxury event florist extraordinaire and not only that, she can also boast being a florist for none other than ITV’s This Morning too. Join me and Alice as we talk about our favourite blooms, why it was floristry that called her and much more, enjoy!

April 14, 2024 Lucy Hutchings - She Grows Veg!
Hello and welcome back to a brand-new season - we’re back for a whopping sixth season of the podcast with new guests and brand-new stories and conversations and this time I'm using this as my chance to celebrate the amazing women of horticulture with a season I'm calling 'A Celebration of Women in Plants'!
Throughout this season I’ve spoken to and will speak to many people who started their working life, without even a thought given to plants from the start. However, they have found gardening and the joy of plants slightly later in life and as a secondary career and my guest this week did exactly that. Lucy Hutchings, otherwise known as She Grows Veg on social media is known both for her beautiful Instagram page and also now, her heritage seed company. In this episode, we discuss how Lucy and Monty aren’t all that dissimilar, why she loves veg so much and much more. We also do a bit of a deep dive into social media too which lots of you will find quite interesting too. Enjoy!

You can find out more from Lucy by following her on Instagram where you’ll find her as @shegrowsveg. You can find out more about Lucy’s seed company, and perhaps get yourself a couple of packets from shegrowsveg.com
