What is that on the horizon - well, it's Spring of course. The klaxon for warmer, longer days is finally sounding and Head Gardeners Saul and Lucy are looking forward to it immensely. Spring is a wonderful time of year but also incredibly busy for all professional gardeners up and down the country as the gardens come alive with colour, texture and the occasional weed! Join them both as they navigate this beautiful time of year, bringing you the sights and sounds of Stonelands and East Donyland, as well as their home gardens and beyond.

Lucy is away on here Easter holidays, so Saul takes the opportunity to enjoy a sunny Saturday morning to bring you listeners along at a look at how is back garden, full of exotic and tender plants have fared. The winter has been very cold, very dry and very wet in equal thirds so his collection of unusual plants has been tested to its limit! Having said that many of the plants that are starting back into growth have surprised Saul and have given him good heart to plant out in the mild, maritime climate that he enjoys in his Devon garden.
