Great to learn more about Alexandra’s garden journey from Moldova to the UK working at the Palm Centre and being a Herbarian at the National History museum.



We shocked her by admitting we have never tried loose leaf tea.

Tonight’s episode Marc goes solo because Ben and Jamie both had Family emergencies. We had a tour of Leanne’s 3 allotment plots then talked about gardening in school and lots about Leanne’s Beautiful Border at Gardeners World Live in June.

Today’s episode was recorded at the end of November the guys are still trying to record the podcast in their gardens despite it only being 2 degrees outside.

Marc was wearing 3 hats to try and stay warm! Check out Spotify if you want to see the full video.

Kim is a dahlia growing expert so it was great to have her on the show.

This week we had the pleasure of talking to the effervescent Gemma about her journey in to gardening.



We talked about her awesome portable

cutting garden, made from plastic crates meaning if she had to move houses she can take it all with her.



We also talked about all things floral displays.



We also mention Higgledy Garden an awesome small British seed company that Gemma works for, Marc has also grown lots of their seeds this year and they are fantastic, go and check

them out I recommend Godetia ‘Crown’
