Hello and welcome back to a brand new season - we’re back for a whopping fifth season of the podcast with new guests and brand new stories and conversations with some people you will definitely know, and some people you’ll come to know
In this episode I’m joined by someone that I’m sure you’ll all know from their insanely gorgeous garden, that you’ll have seen on Instagram AND Gardener’s World. This walled garden is one of the most Instagramable green spaces that I’ve ever had the luck of being in and staying at. I am of course talking about The Laundry Garden and this week I’m joined by one half of the couple behind it, Jenny Williams. We of course discuss the origins of the garden, the hard work put into bringing it to where it is now and much more – enjoy!

Gil Melham - Plants....aplenty!
Hello and welcome back to a brand new season - we’re back for a whopping fifth season of the podcast with new guests and brand new stories and conversations with some people you will definitely know, and some people you’ll come to know
This episode features something....a little different as I'm in conversation with someone that you may well not have heard of, yet! Gil Melham is the managing director of a company called Aplanty House Ltd. Aplanty specialise in demystifying houseplants and reclaiming the title of 'rare' when it comes to varieties and species. This is a really eye opening conversation about the houseplant and one that I hope you'll enjoy. Also, we've got some HUGE news too...but you'll have to listen to find out what that is!
Do give Aplanty a follow over on Instagram @aplantyhouse and also Gil, where you can find here at @gil_melham.
