From time to time Lucy and Saul decided they wanted to record conversations with other Head Gardeners, Curators, Garden Owners and fellow horticulturists across the UK, these will be published as Bonus Episodes alongside their usual format of chatting about their gardening lives. We hope you enjoy.

For the Bonus Episode #8 we are excited to be joined by Anne Swithinbank - gardener, writer and and radio expert - who has had a varied and eventful life in horticulture. Lucy and Saul chat about her early life and how she got into the career initially - before changing career paths into gardening media and writing. We also get a small insight into how she gardens her Devon home, especially her new found appreciation for the ecosystems within her garden and the 're-wilding' practice she is undertaking.
