Through The Garden Gate – Détails, épisodes et analyse

We started the show as always with George’s gardening question, this week about courgette. We also got a radish update and chatted about what we have been up too.

Our guest tonight was another gardener with a luscious head of hair, he has had 26 years as a landscape gardener, and is now an aspiring Garden Designer and even won a Silver Gilt Medal for his Blooming Border at RHS Malvern Spring show this year. He is currently gardening at a retirement estate with an incredible ethos and a wealth of history.

As ever we had a wonderful rambling chat, which incorporated all of Paul’s journey in horticulture.

We even chatted about how undervalued the industry is and how poorly paid it is for the level of skill and knowledge there is.

Join us again next week for another chat with someone from the world of horticulture. Thanks everyone for watching, listening and joining in 💚

We start as we always do with George’s gardening question this week about Radish. We all now need to sow some and see if the answer is correct.

Tonight our guest was Jack who is a life long nature lover, a gardener, a designer, a writer who has featured in @gardenersworldmag @guardian @gardens_illustrated and many others, as well as being the author of Wild about Weeds and A Greener Life. I would also add artist on to the list.

We geeked out about compost our favourite topic, and even about how Jamie plans to use goats to stop him having to use weed killer.

What an incredible stat that over 40% of UK gardens are paved over, we definitely need to start reducing that number.

We definitely need to check out the tile whacking in Europe 😂
