As the Coronovirus pandemic has changed many aspects of life over the past many months, the gardens and green spaces all across the UK have continued in full glory over the spring - but Summer has arrived and for many the outdoors is the sanctuary from the continued uncertainty of what lies ahead. Head Gardeners Saul and Lucy have still been full at work at Stonelands and Easy Donyland (as well as their own gardens) and continue to share their lives as professional horticulturists, there tips and tricks and their observations of their gardening lives.

Hot weather is something gardeners the breadth of the UK are having to deal with more and more frequently. Coupled by longer periods of drought, being aware of how to cope with the drier, hotter weather is something Head Gardeners Lucy and Saul have to deal with efficiently and more frequently. So in this episode we discuss what we prioritise as the hot weather hits and those jobs that are better done in the warmer climate.
