Description
This week we’re exploring small but useful nuggets of information that have the potential to change the way we interact with our surroundings this growing season. We’re getting seasonal tips on GYO – things like training and pruning apple trees and preparing allotments for the busiest time of year. And, we’re delving into plant names – and the system behind our classifications.    Presenter: Guy Barter Contributors: Andy Lewis, Jenny Laville, James Armitage Contact: [email protected] Links:   Apples and pears: winter gardening   The Newt in Somerset – an RHS Partner Garden   Allotments: getting started   RHS Practical Latin for Gardeners   Untangling Latin Names
