What listeners will find here
Will Young on why gardening became his calm after 25 years in the spotlight
Will Young talks about the garden that has become his retreat, from childhood memories of the countryside to the realities of shaping a new outdoor space. There’s also birdwatching, a plant legality question, drought-tolerant tips from Adam, and a nod to 25 years of Evergreen.
Alexander Armstrong on moorland childhoods, voice work and why the outdoors still wins
Alexander Armstrong talks about the outdoors that shaped him, from childhood on the Northumberland moors to his current garden and cross-country pub walks. The episode also dips into his voice work, new book, and upcoming Christmas tour with Aled Jones.
Ben Fogle brings Everest, grizzlies, tortoises and dogs to a very outdoorsy chat
Ben Fogle joins the show to swap stories from a life spent outdoors, from Castaway and Everest to grizzly bears, parasites and a missing tortoise in London. It also gets personal, with his childhood, his garden, his wife Marina, Buffalo clothing and, of course, his dogs.
Ruby Wax on fearless interviews, Alan Rickman, and a proudly plastic garden
Ruby Wax talks about her new tour Absolutely Famous, revisits headline-making encounters with OJ Simpson and Donald Trump, and shares stories from her colourful life and childhood. The episode also takes a lighter turn with cold plunges, summer camp memories, and her very plastic approach to gardening.
Mary Portas talks roses, retail instincts, and one very odd badger plan
Mary Portas joins the garden for a conversation that mixes plants, retail savvy and sharp 1990s stories. Expect ferns, roses, Cotswold walks, thoughts on what garden centres get wrong, and a memorable detour into sexism, window displays and naked badger watching.
