Ledbury Allotment Association

Available for over a year

Peter Gibbs chairs the horticultural panel programme from Ledbury, Herefordshire. Pippa Greenwood, Chris Beardshaw and Anne Swithinbank take questions from amateur gardeners. The team hears how Ledbury locals have been working hard to try and ensure a 12th RHS Britain in Bloom gold medal in a row, and they discuss tactics for gardening through the ongoing drought. There's also a question from one of GQT's long distance listeners who's travelled all the way from California to ask what makes the British so good at gardening. Meanwhile, RHS Wisley Curator Matthew Pottage visits Surbiton to meet Myles Irvine, a remarkable back-garden-breeder of ornate and hardy passionflowers.
