A little bit about gardens, and a lot about everything else. Two garden designer friends share their tales, some tips and quite a lot of trivia: each week is a ramble along wherever the garden path leads them. Whether it’s Morris dancing or a gritty debate about the merits of biscuits for breakfast, the gentle debates and occasional squabbles are never in danger of being too earnest. jothompson.substack.com Hosted on Acast.

    Trolley tours and trench coats

    Jo is back and gives Nina a whistlestop tour through San Francisco, New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Connecticut. Motorcades and Gwyneth Paltrow, expensive dressing Succession-style, best bookshops and booknooks, and is there any point at all to a eucalyptus, which Nina feels fairly strongly about. There’s a visit to a super-whizz tech headquarters in Silicon Valley, an homage to the Tales of the City novels and a scoot around gardens both botanical and communal. Groundhogs make yet another appearance, and Jo reveals why you don’t want to be standing behind her on an escalator on the Tube.
