Yuletide Growers: Mistletoe, Poinsettia and Kentish Walnuts

BBC Radio 4 - Farming Today, Yuletide Growers: Mistletoe, Poinsettia and Kentish Walnuts

Sarah Swadling meets the growers whose busiest time is Christmas.

You might think that the dead of winter is a quiet time for growers, but for some it's the busiest time of the year. Sarah Swadling visits a farmer in Worcestershire who has built an online business around Mistletoe, a grower who tends 100,000 Poinsettia every year, and a man who is hoping to revive English Walnut production in Kent. Produced and presented by Sarah Swadling.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
