Peter Gibbs chats to GQT panellist and Gold Medal winner Chris Beardshaw about his award-winning garden and his inspiration for this year's design. And garden designer (and Chelsea Gold Medal winner from last year) Charlotte Harris takes a look at this year's show gardens, chatting through the "take home tips" that can be applied to a garden at home. Produced by Hannah Newton Assistant Producer: Laurence Bassett A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4.
