Val Bourne on Cherries, Scillas and Geums (Part One‪)‬ Talking Dirty

This week one of our Talking Dirty favourites is back! Val Bourne is an award-winning garden writer and grows all manner of treasures in her 1/3 acre Cotswolds plot. This week - in part one of her latest appearance - she shares some of her favourites Prunus and the Scilla you must grow, plus those to avoid! And as usual her coversation with Alan Gray (East Ruston Old Vicarage) and Thordis meanders via a host of plants from Geums to Ferns.
Next week Roses, Trilliums and Violets...plus FLOMO*

*FLOMO = FLoral/plant-based fear Of Missing Out
