2021 has started but much of the troubles of 2020 have continued, and we understand that the full repercussions of what we have all been through are now being felt. But with summer and autumn now distant and the glory of winter around us, we continue with a healthy amount of discussion on some of our favourite horticultural topics, bringing a little dose of the garden to your daily lives.

Weeds and weeding probably takes up the most time on Head Gardeners Saul and Lucy's estates, in fact if you don't like weeding becoming a professional gardener is probably not for you! However, before you think weeding is just a monotonous activity there is actually a lot more to think about when it comes to approaching your borders, so the pair discuss this age-old problem.
