Plants and Gardens
A new director for the Botanic Garden for Wales, and preventing accidental damage to some of our rarest plants from winter climbing.
We catch up with Dr Lucy Sutherland, the new director for the Botanic Garden for Wales. Conservationists team up with climbers to protect some some of Wales' rarest artic alpine plant species, such as the Snowdon Lily, in Cwm Idwal. No show for the popular campsite and festival field at the Royal Welsh Agricultural show as Wales YFC cancel the Young People's Village. And we take an educational visit to the poison garden.
