We started as we always do with a quick chat with George and his garden question, this week about snails. What a fabulous fact I don’t think many people knew.


Tonight we have Josh Taylor who is a garden designer and consultant at the moment but he has had some fantastic experiences in his career including at Great Dixter.


He is also trying to highlight some really serious problems in horticulture firstly the pay which for the amount of skill that is involved and years that it takes to acquire those skills should be a lot higher. Then the much more but possibly related subject suicide, and the statistics are startling.


We also chatted about how organic gardening is not just better for the planet but also more cost effective.


The climate crisis is also another subject that can not be denied by people on the front line seeing the changes in front of our very eyes. Josh describes this past year as his most challenging in horticulture.
