Ep.10 - Lucy and Saul take a look at which gardens have influenced their gardening careers the most...
Lucy and Saul are fully aware that the world has taken a monumental shift - the Coronavirus outbreak has left our little bit of the world in Horticulture reeling both personally and professionally. So we both decided that instead of our longer format episodes every 3 weeks or so - we going to record shorter podcasts, through the week, to bring you a slice of our lives at East Donyland Hall and Stonelands and beyond - trying to bring a little bit of spring and sunshine to your eardrums.In this episode Lucy and Saul have a chat about which gardens inspire and influence their Head Gardening careers. Lucy's choice is the garden of one of the UK's most celebrated plantswomen Beth Chatto - a garden in Essex famed for its philosophy or Right Plant, Right Place - including its famous Gravel Garden, and the atmospheric Woodland with choice plants growing all over. Saul share's his love for the Garden House on the outskirts of Dartmoor in Devon, describing how it was seminal in the early development of his career and how its one time Head Gardener Keith Wiley continues to shape his Plantmanship.We also mention the charity Perennial - with many Horticulturists, including many friends and colleagues, losing their jobs and livelihoods during this difficult time, Perennial are a charity dedicated to help fellow Horti's when the fall on hard times. Please if you can take a look at their website and support them in what ever way you might.Twitter links:Saul @GardeningSaulLucy @HeadGardenerLCIntro and Outro music from https://filmmusic.io"Fireflies and Stardust" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
