GQT at Home: Parakeet Trees and Dinner Plate Leaves

Gardeners' Question Time

Available for over a year

Kathy Clugston hosts this week's gardening Q&A. Anne Swithinbank, Christine Walkden and Bob Flowerdew answer questions sent in by listeners. This week, the panellists get inventive with solutions to a parakeet problem... rubber snake, anyone? They also share some great plant ideas for a Scottish sunroom, and look back on the best retro houseplants. Away from the panel, Matthew and Jane Wilson share the progress of their cut flower garden, and Advolly Richmond tells us the history of Alstroemeria, aka the Peruvian Lily. Producer - Daniel Cocker Assistant Producer - Aniya Das A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4
