BBC Radio 4 - Gardeners' Question Time, House of Lords

Horticultural programme featuring a group of gardening experts.

Horticultural programme featuring a group of gardening experts. This week from the House of Lords.

I’m having no luck growing chillies from seed. What am I doing wrong? Which plants would the panel recommend to bring fragrance and colour? Which way should a fig tree face to produce the most fruit?

Ready to answer all these questions and more, Kathy Clugston and her team of experts have been invited to the House of Lords for this week’s programme. Joining Kathy to offer their best horticultural tips and tricks are Head of Oxford Botanical Gardens Dr Chris Thorogood, garden designer Matthew Wilson, and plantswoman Christine Walkden. 

Among the questions, Kathy chats to Baroness Fookes about the importance of gardening today.
