Lucy and Saul are fully aware that the world has taken a monumental shift - the Coronavirus outbreak has left our little bit of the world in Horticulture reeling both personally and professionally. So we both decided that instead of our longer format episodes every 3 weeks or so - we going to record shorter podcasts, through the week, to bring you a slice of our lives at East Donyland Hall and Stonelands and beyond - trying to bring a little bit of spring and sunshine to your eardrums.

In this episode Saul and Lucy look to their own garden spaces for a little refuge, and show you what a Head Gardener might be growing behind their own garden gate. Both have very differing gardens, Lucy, a classic Veg and Fruit Garden, with beautiful herbaceous borders, and that 'bit at the end' which hasn't been done yet. While Saul describes his as not really a garden at all, but a collection of some of his favourite Exotic, Tropical and Woodland plants that he realises he buys far too many of. Enjoy!
