We start the episode as ever with a fab question from George this week all about the largest garden in the world!

Fantastic chat that could have gone on for hours, Teddy has had some incredible experiences of how food is produced in other countries and end up in our supermarkets, yet we donโ€™t know the face that poured love in to producing it


Farming has to change before itโ€™s to late, I encourage you all to go and sign his petition in his bio and letโ€™s put pressure on the EU to start the ball rolling on #savethesoil

We started a bit late after a bizarre pheasant emergency after one was alive and stuck in my cars front grill.


Tonightโ€™s guest passion is exotics and a jungle style garden. He has created an amazing space that feels extremely jungly using plants are capable of getting through a British winter.

Tonightโ€™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.

Chay Godfree @cropsnotshops โœ๏ธ03 juil. 202601:29:33

We started as we always start with chaos and a gardening question from George. This week it was about bulbs.ย 


Tonight we had a guest whoโ€™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 ๐Ÿ’š


Itโ€™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.

Welcome to another episode, this week we are slowly baking alive in the dehumidifier formally known as United Kingdom, we start as ever with a chat with George and his famous gardening question. Who will win this week Jamie, Marc or will George stump them both.


Tonightโ€™s guest is a geologist with nearly 40 years experience having working on projects all over the world.


He has now moved in to the world of horticulture to teach gardeners, farmers, developers, landowners, estates and horticulturalistsย in the biological/soil food web approach to

gardening and growing at all scales.


His understanding of the way mycorrhiza work in the soil is incredible our minds were absolutely blown, you have probably all heard the word bit maybe donโ€™t understand the science behind it.


Thank you so much everyone who watched live or catches up after or waits for the podcast later on in the week.ย

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.ย 


Sign Paulโ€™s petition https://c.org/4T4nTzV5Fm


I 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.

Jack Wallington @jackwallingtonnature05 juin 202601:41:05

We start as we always do with Georgeโ€™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.

Nick Patel @_wilderskies_ ๐ŸŒฟ29 mai 202601:48:06

We start as always with Georgeโ€™s garden question, this week about lawn mowers and when they were invented.


Tonight we have a wildlife expert which you would think has nothing to do with gardening but in my opinion the two are very closely linked and the more natural we can make our gardens the better.


Itโ€™s interesting to think about what plant you need to atract a certain insect and how specific those insect can be.


If you are ever in the south west and want to have a nature tour with Nick check out his website and follow him on Instagram.


Letโ€™s hope his Birdfoot trefoil attracts the small blue butterflies he want to see on his garden, also keep an eye out for Painted lady butterflies as itโ€™s expected to be a good year for them.

Great to have a guest back on this week and what an inspirational lady whose garden has appeared on @gardenersworldtv last year.


I love that she was inspired to dig up her lawn and create a beautiful garden made up of different mounds split up by gravel paths.


I also love the idea of using milk bottles as low maintenance mini propagators to get your seeds growing.


We also got a garden fact from George in his Christmas PJs again๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿป


Join us next week when we will have another guest from the world of gardening ๐Ÿ’š
