*After recording we have realised an unexpected tech issue has caused some unusual audio on this episode but we hope you are still able to hear all of Rebecca’s insights!*

Who doesn’t love a bunch filled with eucalyptus?!

This week we are excited to welcome Rebecca who has all the answers for anyone wondering how to plan a cut flower farm and what she has learned since she started. 

The icing on the cake is her insights into growing foliage for cut flowers.

We are kicking off season 8 with a dedicated dahlia episode with dahlia extraordinaire David Hall of Halls of Heddon, a specialist dahlia nursery here in the U.K.  

If you’ve listened to our podcast before, you’ll know Nicole was in her element with this episode and David certainly fed her habit!

It’s rose time!

It’s ranunculus time!

This week Michaela comes back to tell us about what she learned in her first year flower farming

This week we have something a little bit different for you! We are joined by Tom Leonard, aka Daisy Desire the Drag Queen Gardener, who is here to bring a bit of couture to our manure! We chat to Tom about how getting an allotment helped him through some tough times and gardening means to him to and his mental health. It’s become so important to him that he’s now a trained horticulturist, has started a career in this field and with the help of Daisy has made it their mission to promote the mental wellbeing benefits of horticulture, encouraging people to go outside and get growing, and motivating them to do what makes them happy. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we loved recording it!

This week we are joined by the peony master Alec White from UK peony specialists Primrose Hall. Their website: https://primrosehallpeonies.co.uk
