About the show

A little bit about gardens, and a lot about everything else. Two garden designer friends share their tales, some tips and quite a lot of trivia: each week is a ramble along wherever the garden path leads them. Whether it’s Morris dancing or a gritty debate about the merits of biscuits for breakfast, the gentle debates and occasional squabbles are never in danger of being too earnest. jothompson.substack.com Hosted on Acast.
