From The Archives: Hot & Dry

Available for over a year

Kathy Clugston looks back over 76 years of hot and dry weather advice on this special archive edition of GQT. Summer is upon us once again and gardeners all over the country have been finding various ways to adapt their gardens to the hot and dry conditions. The GQT team have sorted through the archives in search for some questions and answers from our horticultural experts over various episodes. They share their knowledge on how to water a garden without wasting too much water, what perennial flowers can survive dry conditions and require low maintenance, and how you can create a drought-resistant garden that supports wildlife and biodiversity. And later we listen back to when Matthew Wilson visited the Beth Chatto Garden in Essex - to see how they adapt to the hot & dry summers Producer: Daniel Cocker Assistant Producer: Rahnee Prescod Executive Producer: Hannah Newton A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4
