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 Lucy and Saul reveal what they've been up to over the four day Easter holiday, bathed in glorious sunshine they've both managed to get lots of gardening done in the personal outside space. Lucy is especially happy that this is the first season in her new greenhouse, so both discuss why a greenhouse is essential in their lives. Saul also lets you into his favourite plant of the moment - Pleione - this jewel of an orchid is really livening up his life with its beautiful colours.
