Description
Linda Petrons, better known to me as Lou, is the Director of Communications at Greenfingers. As they word it, they are a national charity dedicated to supporting children who spend time in hospices around the UK, along with their families, by creating inspiring gardens. On todays episode Peter Donegan sits with Lou to chat working with some of the UK's top garden designers, why they do what they do and just what it means to be a child or a member of their family with a photosynthetic outdoor place to be just that, if only but for a moment or a memory in time.  We talk why the entire industry simply adores them so very much, the Agents of Field Christmas video, their upcoming 20th anniversary and so much more.   The Sodshow is available every Friday in iTunes, all good podcast stores and www.sodshow.com and this episode is brought to you with very special thanks to The London College of Garden Design celebrating their 10th anniversary and who more importantly made this episode possible. For that I thank you so very much.  Peter  London College Garden Design: web: www.lcgd.org.uk twitter: @LCgardendesign fb: TheLondonCollegeofGardenDesign Greenfingers Charity: twitter: @greenfingerscha fb: Greenfingerscharity web: www.greenfingerscharity.org.uk The Sodshow: Twitter: @sodshow facebook: The Sodshow instagram: sodshow

The old buddies chat...
