We hope you enjoy.

On this second Bonus Episode we we're delighted to welcome Christopher Weddell - Gardens Advisor for the English Heritage - he gives as an insight into his career in the National Trust, on the Kew Diploma and for the RHS, before taking on his current role over a decade ago. We have a good chat about how organisations with large garden portfolios have dealt with the ongoing Health crisis, and pluck the positives for our gardens and gardeners in the future.
