Great Torrington

Gardeners' Question Time

Available for over a year

Peter Gibbs is joined by Anne Swithinbank, Pippa Greenwood, and Matthew Pottage. Together, they answer your gardening queries. The panellists are near Great Torrington, Devon in the beautiful garden of RHS Rosemoor where they recommend some methods for growing the most delicious courgettes, divulge the secret to cultivating successful delphiniums, and get excited by ideas for aquatic planting in and around a pond. Away from the questions, Pippa Greenwood heads to RHS Rosemoor’s Southwest and Devon orchard to hear about their bumper crop of apples and Chris Beardshaw celebrates the character, history and folklore of a deciduous tree native to the UK - the hazel. Producer: Jemima Rathbone Assistant Producer: Bethany Hocken A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4
