BBC Radio 4 - Gardeners' Question Time, Postbag: Trebah Garden

Horticultural programme featuring a group of gardening experts.

Kathy Clugston and her team of horticultural experts visit the sub-tropical paradise of Trebah Gardens. James Wong, Anne Swithinbank and Darren Dickey answer the questions.

Will my cuttings expire at the same time as the parent plant? How do I attract more wildlife to my pond? If the panel had £100 to spend on their garden per year, what would they buy?

Kathy Clugston and her team of horticultural experts are in the subtropical terrain of Trebah Gardens, Cornwall for this week’s episode of Gardeners' Question Time. Joining her are self-proclaimed ‘botany geek’ James Wong, gardening writer Anne Swithinbank, and Trebah’s very own Head Gardener Darren Dickey.

Entwined between the postbag questions, Darren takes the panel around the unique areas of Trebah Gardens, including a ‘bamboozling’ insight into their bamboo crops, a dip into their Water Garden, and a trip through Trebah’s famous Gunnera Passage.
