Dahlias! Dahlias! Dahlias! with The Frustrated Gardener, Dan Cooper (plus Hedychiums & Tropaeolums too!)

If you thought you had enough Dahlias in your life, then think again. Dan Cooper is about to change your mind! His Dahlia-tastic show and tell wows Alan Gray (East Ruston Old Vicarage) and Thordis as he takes us from Cactus-types to Waterlilies via fibriated and single.

About the Podcast

Talking Dirty
The Podcast for Plant Lovers
Get Gardening's podcast for plant lovers is jam-packed with choice plants.

Hosts Thordis and Alan Gray (of East Ruston Old Vicarage gardens) catch up with their horticultural (or should that be naughty-cultural!) friends to talk about their favourite plants of the moment. It's a bit like a stroll around a fantastic nursery or inspiring garden, but with someone telling you what all the plants are!

There are lots of growing and propagation tips included, and everyone shares their latest FLOMO (FLoral/plant-based fOMO). Check out the show notes or our website (getgardeningnow.co.uk) for a full plant list to accompany each episode.
