As the Coronovirus pandemic has changed many aspects of life over the past many months, the gardens and green spaces all across the UK have continued in full glory over the spring - but Summer has arrived and for many the outdoors is the sanctuary from the continued uncertainty of what lies ahead. Head Gardeners Saul and Lucy have still been full at work at Stonelands and Easy Donyland (as well as their own gardens) and continue to share their lives as professional horticulturists, there tips and tricks and their observations of their gardening lives.
The profession of horticulture is something Head Gardener's Lucy and Saul are very passionate about, being career horticulturists and seeing the change in the industry including the skills gaps, differences in demographics coming into the industry and the ways in which horticulture has had to adapt to make itself more relevant as the years go by. In this podcast we take a look at some research by the RHS on getting people into horticulture (Click here to see the press release) we have a look at their findings and discuss the new portal of 60 videos highlighting this wonderful career.
