S2, Ep 5: Matthew Wilson
Hello podcast People!
This episode I’m chatting to one of my garden designer heroes, Matthew Wilson. He tells us the story of his life in horticulture, and the many bends in the road along the way. Besides heading up a busy garden design practice, Matthew is a regular on BBC Gardener’s Question Time a speaker, journalist and author as well as finding time to spend in his own garden. His 2009 TV show Landscape Man literally broke new ground in telly gardening. We chat about what it’s really like to face the public’s gardening questions, and I grill him on all your tricky ones too. This was my first live podcast and the audience was the sunniest, kindest, smiliest sort. What a lovely bunch of people gardeners are!
Enjoy!

Customer Reviews
Adore!
I am loving this podcast! I’m such a Virgin Gardener and don’t know where to start with my questions. Each episode has been informative, funny and inspiring and I’ve learned so much. I love listening while walking my dog and most of the time I find that I go straight into the garden at the end of my walks and put right/or start something which I have just heard on the podcast. Thank you so much!
Love it!
Thank you Andrew and Laetitia for a really fun, inspiring and informative podcast. I really enjoy the good laugh you give me at otherwise potentially non-laughy moments. I’m interested in your decision to use common plant names over latin ones - understand what you’re up to and I miss the proper names. Could we have both perhaps? xx
Great for a new gardener
Really enjoying this - helping me out as I plant my little London garden and discover the joys of painting slowly aka gardening
