The plants we garden with are story machines, each begging to beheard.Each week, sit back and listen to award-winning author and internationally acclaimed horticulturist Dr Allan Armitage as he talks about the “rest of the story.” For example, was there really someone called Joe Pye, and how did the poppy become the flower of remembrance?Find a little time in your day for some storytelling to fire up your curiosity and learn something interesting to share with others.
