Lee returns this week with a surprise "out and about" podcast visiting Painshill Garden in Surrey

Created in the 18th century by Charles Hamilton as a living painting, Painshill invites you to walk around a work of art and discover dramatic follies, calming waters and stunning views.

Painshill is regarded as one of the foremost and finest examples of the English Landscape Movement. A style of landscape design that has been described, by architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner, as “Britain’s’ greatest contribution to the visual arts”.

It’s a fantastic day out for all the family that’s full of heritage, beauty, adventure and outdoor fun.

A romantic landscape full of surprises awaits… https://www.painshill.co.uk

That episode where.. we’ve got RHS Chelsea Flower Show, Junk year show gardens, troublesome neighbours, someone calls the police and Peter Seabrook and Alan Titchmarsh get excited about a hose pipe. 

It was meant to be RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2021 this week, until some pandemic thing put an end to that until September, so the RHS has put on a virtual edition in May. In this show we were supposed to be reviewing that virtual show, but it didn’t quite work out like that. 

Richard Suggett of the Veg Grower Podcast calls in to discuss the Chelsea Flower Show and what he thinks about it, plus a dilemma from a charity gift, what should he do? And what does he think about a junk yard show garden at Chelsea? Could it work?

Liam’s back with more news on how he’s getting on with his neighbour, which includes a visit from the police! But what should he do? It seems that this situation is escalating, but at least he had a nice birthday!

A young Peter Seabrook (50 years old) Joins us from 1984 as we watch what the Chelsea Flower Show was like back then, and what the gardens used to look like! A surprising amount of lawns!

Ian Beddoes is back in a rathe snazzy waistcoat, trying to find out what the terrain is like for a garden show next week. The Skinny Jean Gardener Podcast, here for high end entertainment, and customer service. 

Alan Titchmarsh shows us some of the very latest in 1984 of gardening gadgets that really changed the way of gardening FOREVER, you know thinks like a hose pipe reel! Real life changing stuff, but Alan was impressed so I suppose thats why really matters. 

And finally Sean James Cameron of the Youtube joins us to discuss RHS Bridgewater, the new garden, and his thoughts on what its going to be like.
