BBC Radio 2 - Let It Grow, Let It Grow with Liza Tarbuck, Where Do I Even Start?

Owain Wyn Evans and gardener Tayshan Hayden-Smith.

Liza Tarbuck is here to help you transform grey spaces into wild and colourful places! Gardener Tayshan Hayden-Smith and Radio 2’s Owain Wyn Evans discuss where to even begin.

Liza Tarbuck holds your hand on a journey to learn how to plant, and turn all those dingy grey spaces in your life into riots of colour. This is the first step, and she's called in a few friends to help you begin. 

Gardener Tayshan Hayden-Smith talks about starting out as a footballer before using the healing power of nature to bring his local community together in the wake of the Grenfell fire tragedy. Radio 2’s newest family member Owain Wyn Evans shares his favourite garden memories, and we learn about the power of plants with Dr Lauriane Chalmin-Pui - the Wellbeing Fellow from the Royal Horticultural Society. Today it's Rosemary! 

And hear what plants Owain and Tayshan pick to add to Liza's Imaginary Flowerbed - and why...
