Culpepper Community Garden

Gardeners' Question Time

Available for over a year

Eric and the panel are at the Culpepper Community Garden in Islington, North London. Anne Swithinbank, Christine Walkden and Matt Biggs answer the audience questions. This week the panellists suggest fruiting plants that might not be as tempting to light-fingered passers-by as strawberries, offer reasons why one audience member's rosemary plants keep dying, and reel off some plants that would be happy on a hot, windy roof top. They also advise on best-practice for sharpening tools, diagnose a struggling Wisteria, and help out questioners having difficulties with pigeons and moss in their gardens. Anne Swithinbank visits the V&A Museum in London to investigate the long-standing connection between horticulture and fashion. Produced by Hannah Newton Assistant Producer: Laurence Bassett A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4.
