Wild and woolly or bare and minimalist? Hosts James Alexander-Sinclair and Joe Swift discuss how our choices on everything from shrubs to sculpture dictate your garden's character. Plus they dissect different garden styles, from the sofa-on-the-grass 'Shameless' garden to the 'outdoor room' beloved of footballers' wives.

Plus - James and Joe tackle your gardening dilemmas, including what to grow for a bird garden, are supermarket plants worth it, and a zesty question about a lemon tree.⁠Support James and Joe by becoming a Scribehound Gardening subscriber⁠.
