Your favourite plant lovers, Michael and Ellen meet Ian Drummond, director of the fabulous company, Indoor Garden Design.

They are specialists in interior landscaping, from design to installation through to maintenance. Alongside installations in offices, Indoor Garden Design's speciality is events and creating living backgrounds and sculptures for parties. The team of green-fingered experts has styled high profile events such as the BAFTAs, London Fashion Week and, most spectacularly, Sir Elton John's Summer Ball at his house in Windsor.

Ian chats about how the company started and has celebrated houseplants way before they became Instagram worthy. Indoor Garden Design started in a small garage in 1975, when its founder, Ed Wolf, was a true pioneer who brought the houseplant trend from the Netherlands to London.

Ian reveals his favourite plants, as well as the ones he likes to avoid! He gives his top houseplants recommendations, discusses the future and gives his predictions for the next trend in houseplants.

Visit www.theplantbasedpodcast.net for an exclusive article from Ian on his failsafe houseplants.

In this episode, Michael and Ellen also have a guest for the gossip section. They visited the new shop of Donna Hodds, also known as Pretty Little Cactus, where they had a bit of a giggle about houseplants and some serious chat about plant passports!

Gardeners' World presenter and gardening writer, Mark Lane, meets Michael and Ellen to discuss how he got into gardening, and how it all started with a career in medical and architectural publishing. His love of gardening was sparked by his architectural work and learning how outside landscaping relates to building and design.

Life changed for Mark following a car crash in 2001 which means he is now a wheelchair user. Throughout his rehabilitation, Mark studied garden design and went on to be the UK's first garden designer in a wheelchair, as well as the first BBC gardening presenter in a wheelchair.

As well as dishing the dirt on what goes on behind the scenes at Gardeners' World, he reveals how he overcomes issues around accessibility in gardening. He talks about tools he's discovered that make it easier to garden from his wheelchair, as well as inventions he's fashioned himself.

Visit www.theplantbasedpodcast.net for an exclusive article from Mark on his top tips for accessible gardening.
