GQT at Home: Orchid Hunting and Clay Soil Planting

Gardeners' Question Time

Available for over a year

Kathy Clugston hosts the horticultural programme featuring a group of gardening experts, including Anne Swithinbank, Chris Beardshaw, and Christine Walkden, who are on hand to answer the gardening queries of a virtual audience. This week, the panellists offer up their advice on managing mistletoe, adding lime to soil, and planting for those ever-so British wet conditions. Beyond the questions, Anne Swithinbank chats to Mike Waller and Sean Cole about hunting for orchids in the wild and Juliet Sargeant joins us from Brighton to tell the tale of her two favourite elm trees. Producer - Daniel Cocker Assistant Producer - Bethany Hocken A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4
