This weeks garden question from George was all about how many seeds a strawberry have on them 🍓Tonight’s guest hopes to inspire people to discover where their food comes from, and maybe choose a career in Agriculture. She is the host of Second Nature @second_natureuk a podcast celebrating the seasons, farming, gardening and the countryside. She also has a cute sidekick called Willow the Corgi.So fantastic to talk to Lizzie all about her career in farming and how she has discovered her love for not just farming but growing food.It was great to also talk about mental health which Lizzie has suffered from and gardening and nature help immeasurably.Thanks everyone for watching and joining in, join us next week for another guest from the world of horticulture 💚

We started as we always start with chaos and a gardening question from George. This week it was about bulbs. Tonight we had a guest who’s mission is to help change the way we live as a society, he believes we should be growing food as a community and not relying on the shops.I loved how Chay has found a connection to nature that has made his life complete and now he wants to inspire more people to break away from the systems that are controlling us all.My vote is for him to be the next Prime Minister 💚It’s incredible what you can achieve with a community, in less than 11 week they have created a growing space and are harvesting from it.Join us next week for another episode and a guest from the world of horticulture 💚

We start as always with a chat with George and his gardening question, this week all about Raspberries.Marc and Jamie chatted about what they had been up too in their gardens, Marc gave a Robomower update from work.Our guest tonight is someone with over 32 years experience in the world of horticulture, specialising in creating gardens that are naturalistic and wildlife friendly. He is very passionate about making the world a better place for all and even has a petition to try and force change with new build estates to be more sympathetic with nature and green spaces. Sign Paul’s petition https://c.org/4T4nTzV5FmI love hearing how Paul creates gardens with nature and wildlife at the forefront rather than an afterthought. Which also leads to a much smaller cost than traditional hard landscaping and garden design.Thanks everyone for watching and listening, join us next week for another guest from the world of horticulture 💚
