Through The Garden Gate

We started the show as ever with our question from George, this week it was about Daffodils.

Then we got our guest Chris in to talk all things garden and of course his back story.

I loved hearing about some of the behind the scenes chat about Garden Rescue.

If you haven’t seen Chris’s 2024 Chelsea garden go check it out because it was absolutely stunning and give @sidhillecogardens a follow who he co designed with.

We of course finished with the lightening round what a trio Chris chose to garden with!

Thanks everyone for watching and listening, join us back in 2 weeks time! 💚

George gave us a garden question to start and it was about willows, as we were creating a living willow tunnel at @wild.inthe.woodscic this weekend which George helped with as well as lots of other fantastic volunteers.

We spoke to Ana about where her love of gardening came from.

She also told us how her daughter waning to make a bit of money selling seeds led to her creating her own heirloom seed shop.

I was fascinated to hear about the Brix meter that measures how sweet a tomato is.

We start the episode with George’s gardening question for Marc and Jamie, this week all about Bluebells. Can Jamie make it two wins in a row?

When we recorded the podcast on Tuesday we had lots of technical difficulties but hopefully managed to edit it in to a coherent episode.

It was great to hear all of the behind the scenes gossip about @thetraitorsukofficial

James gave us an exclusive about Gardeners World which was very exciting news.

We obviously got on to the gardening chat eventually, but we know you all wanted to hear lots about the traitors first.

We start as usual with a garden question from George this week with a space theme after our trip to the space centre in Leicester. He also told us all about his pewter fossil necklace that he made @wild.inthe.woodscic this week.

Stephanie has had a fantastic career in gardening and her third book “The Productive Garden An essential guide to self sufficiency” is available at the end of next month. Make sure you preorder it now from Stephanie’s website.

What Stephanie doesn’t know about growing and preserving isn’t worth knowing.

It was interesting to hear about Stephanie’s love of growing and eating Aubergines.

We start of as always with a little chat with George, he gave Marc and Jamie our second head to head question.

Marc also asked George what he was grateful for today and he said the garden which was lovely.

After a few technical difficulties we got our guest Susan in who is transforming her patients lives with treatment that you would not expect a GP to prescribe.

What an incredible thing to create a garden to connect people and encourage community. It’s definitely the way forward to improve the nations mental and physical health. We definitely need a garden/nature portion a day like fruit and veg.
