Spring Show & Tell from Alan and Thordis

When we prepared to launch our Newsletter and asked what Talking Dirty listeners wanted from it, there was a big call for Show and Tell from Alan Gray and Thordis. So, in a pause between our usual guest-focussed podcasts, they're talking about some of their favourites in the garden at the moment, including selections for Thordis' new raised shade bed.

From Corydalis to Ficaria, Primulas, Pulmonarias and Narcissi, there's planty inspiration a-plenty.

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.
