Six decades of clematis wisdom, from pruning basics to better planting
Clematis takes center stage as breeder Raymond Evison CBE shares what he’s learned from 60 years of growing and breeding these climbers. The episode mixes practical care advice with planting ideas, from pruning and pots to scent, wildlife value, and pairing clematis with other garden plants.
Autumn jobs that pay off: corms, compost and leaf mould
Autumn gardening takes centre stage as Claire Vennis covers lifting gladioli, keeping weeds in check and making the most of fallen leaves. It sounds like a practical, seasonal listen focused on simple jobs that can improve next year’s garden.
Will Young on gardens, creativity, and the calm of letting nature lead
Will Young reflects on creativity, nature, and the patience of shaping a two-acre garden over time. He talks about historic walls, reused materials, wildlife, and how a garden can become a place of calm, reflection, and everyday magic.
Three quick late-October garden jobs for a half hour outdoors
Late-October gardening is the focus here, with Claire offering three satisfying jobs that fit into just half an hour outside. It sounds geared to anyone who wants practical, seasonal momentum without turning the day into a major project.
