Winter in the UK is either mild and damp, or cold and windy - and who would want to be outside as a gardener at this time of year - well Saul and Lucy for one, as these months are some of the busiest in all of the 12. While the garden may be slumbering, Head Gardeners and their teams are beavering away on major jobs, garden renovations, cleaning and tidying the years clutter and making plans for 2024. So join us every week to see what we're up to in the cold months in our work and home gardens.
Last week, Lucy was thrilled to be a key speaker for the RHS's Horticultural Careers Discovery Week, where industry ambassadors were asked to shine a spotlight on their chosen career paths. The 40-minute webinars covered a wide range of professions, from tree surgeons, plant health inspectors and horticultural advisors, to horticultural therapists, garden designers and even filmset dressers. So, whichever route into gardening may have piqued your interest, the duo hope that its led to a varied, fulfilling and thoroughly enjoyable career.
