Correspondence Edition: Sir Harold Hillier Gardens

Gardeners' Question Time

Available for over a year

Peter Gibbs and the team are at the Sir Harold Hillier Gardens in Hampshire. Bob Flowerdew, Matt Biggs and Anne Swithinbank answer questions from the GQT inbox, postbag and from social media. As the panellists take a tour around the gardens, they are joined by botanist Barry Clarke to answer questions on Brussel Sprouts, containing Lily-of-the-Valley in a rockery, and good garden uses for leftover wool. They also help listeners with issues such as getting a Swiss Cheese plant to fruit, how to encouraging an Edgeworthia to get going, and moving a small oak tree. A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4.
