GQT at Home: A Partridge in a Pear Tree

Gardeners' Question Time

12/25/21 • 42 min

Accompanying you this Christmas, Kathy Clugston hosts the gardening panel show. Bob Flowerdew, Christine Walkden, and Matthew Pottage are on hand to answer the gardening queries. Alongside the usual mulch of gardening goodies - a how-to on home-growing parsnips and skirret, a plant that tastes like an oyster, and the curious appearance of a partridge in a pear tree - Kathy brings humour in the form of the now-traditional GQT cracker jokes. Providing us with some trimmings foraged from the great outdoors, Matt Biggs speaks to the team in charge of growing the Christmas tree for Windsor Castle, and Chris Beardshaw shares the folklore of that familiar festive flora, the holly or ilex. Producer - Hannah Newton Assistant Producer - Bethany Hocken A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4

Bath

Gardeners' Question Time

11/25/22 • 41 min

Do you really need to wait until the freezing depths of winter before pruning a climbing rose? How do you start a compost heap? And what exactly is Fuchsia gall mite? Garden designers Chris Bearshaw, Juliet Sargeant, and RHS Wisley curator Matthew Pottage are ready to answer questions from a live audience in Bath. On his way to the hall, Peter Gibbs takes a stroll with historian Professor Marion Harney through Bath's historic Pleasure Gardens - gardens which often feature in Jane Austen's writing. Also on the programme, Ashley Edwards heads to Gladstone Park in North London to speak to garden designer Antonia Couling and artist Harun Morrison about their landscape garden feature The Anchor, The Drum, The Ship.

Postbag: RHS Urban Gardening Show

Gardeners' Question Time

05/03/24 • 41 min

What's the difference between anvil secateurs and bypass secateurs? What should I do with well-used compost? If you could design a gardening utopia, what would you include?

While exploring the exhibitions, they dig through the GQT inbox to answer your gardening queries. On the panel this week are self-proclaimed botanical geek James Wong, house plants expert Anne Swithinbank, and Curator of RHS Bridgewater Marcus Chilton Jones.
