Series 14 kicks off with an incredible guest! We always ask guests on the podcast where their gardening journey started, the majority will say from their parents or grandparents who are of course all legends! But imagine if your gardening inspiration was non other than the late Geoff Hamilton! Yes on todays show we have the owner of Barnsdale Gardens, horticulturalist, writer, radio and television broadcaster Nick Hamilton. Hear all about Nick's childhood, gardening gems from his father and the glorious gardens he and the team maintain for visitors. Afterwards, @mr_plantgeek and @ellenmarygardening get together for the first horti hangout of 2024 with gossip, gardening and general chat. Proud to announce Hydria as the new series 14 sponsors!
