The Garden Party

Inspired by the Queen of Hearts in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Clare&Colan go down the rabbit hole to explore garden rules made to be broken.

Rodents are raiding our garden! Terrorising our tulips, consuming our kale, pillaging our pots. Find out how Clare&Colan are coping with the rat invasion and how they plan to protect their plants.

It's time to order Lilium bulbs! Find our what Clare&Colan ordered and why, and how to plant and grow your Liliums. There's something for all the lily lovers out there plus we discuss what we are doing and how we are coping in lockdown - apart from buying (many) bulbs!

In our part of the world, the Delta variant of Covid-19 has taken hold and we have stay at home orders. So what is giving Clare&Colan solace? Gardening of course.

Clare&Colan look back at their vegetable gardening endeavours. What triumphed, what flopped, and why. And we look ahead to our winter vegetable garden.

All about trees. How to choose a tree. Deciduous vs evergreen. How to plant a tree. How to look after your trees. And a few of Colan&Clare's favourite trees!

Clare&Colan have a thing for things that are not always seen as de rigeur. And this episode we mix it up a little with fashion and other flavours added into our gardening mix.

As we emerge from pandemic lockdowns, Clare&Colan look back at how gardening became an important part of many people's lockdown lives. But will it stick?

Britain's favourite gardener, a Japanese plant hunter, a pioneering woman who destroyed her own garden, an American plant collector who transformed a windswept site. Colan&Clare discuss some of their favourite gardeners.

It's an idiosyncratic 'she bought, he bought' journey through Clare&Colan's selection and purchase of spring-flowering bulbs
