The Charterhouse, London

Gardeners' Question Time

Available for over a year

Eric Robson hosts the horticultural panel programme from The Charterhouse in London. Pippa Greenwood, Matthew Pottage and Matthew Wilson answer the questions. This week, the panellists debate whether or not to leave daffodils to die back naturally, if mistletoe affects the taste of your apples, and how to move a large Japanese Maple that has outgrown its pot. They also suggest plants for a hedge in a city garden, what to plant for immediate effect in a wildflower meadow, and the plants they would like to obliterate from horticulture. Away from the questions, Matthew Wilson takes a tour of the gardens hidden away within The Charterhouse, deep within the City of London. Produced by Dan Cocker Assistant Producer: Laurence Bassett A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4
