Show Notes

2020 has been an unusual and difficult year for many, and we understand that the full repercussions of what we have all been through are still to be felt - but with summer waning and the glory of Autumn still to come, we continue with a healthy amount of discussion on some of our favourite horticultural topics, bringing a little dose of the garden to your daily lives.

On Lucy and Saul's Essex Road trip a few weeks back they visited RHS Hyde Hall near Chelmsford, a gorgeous garden know for its sweeping vistas, dry garden and huge herbaceous and mixed planting island beds. Its also where Matt Oliver (who has appeared on the podcast before as a bonus episode guest) supervises the Global Growth Vegetable Garden, so we have a chat about how the garden has fared during the pandemic and look at some of the interesting and unusual vegetables and fruit Matt grows.
