Talking Heads - a Gardening Podcast
Ep. 249 - This week, Saul and Lucy have donned their RHS hats to participate in an information sharing session regarding plans for 2025. With water conservation, plants for a purpose and website developments on the agenda, we're in for an exciting year
Well winter is on our doorsteps, and for the general population any thoughts of gardening stops, as the common thought is the 'garden has gone to sleep'...Well nothing could be farther from the truth, as the season of shorter days and chilly weather could be one of the most important and busy in the yearly life of your garden. Join Lucy and Saul every week as they show you exactly how busy they are, whether getting everything festive for Xmas, clearing up after the latest storm, enjoying the emergent shoots of early flowering plants or getting ready for spring and a return to the start of the great garden cycle!
Anything that stands still runs the risk of being overtaken, so the Royal Horticultural Society is sprinting forth in its plans for 2025 to lead our industry through excellent research, communication and garden development. Lucy and Saul have been privy to these details this week, and the duo are also deliberating their own horticultural activities, too. Does Lucy think her begonias will see the light of day in 2025, and is Saul right to embrace his present 'benign' Devonshire weather?
