A proposito di questo titolo

 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.

    This episode - The Archers, scrumgeing and hedgehogs, and the hunt for a very rare daffodil.


    The Rich Pickings duo are out and about. They go on a visit to the wonderful Badminton estate to check out how the land is lying for The Archers show garden at this years Royal Horticultural Society’s show there. Badminton leads to Tiddlywink(s), scrumgeing and scrimgeing, and the hunt for a very rare daffodil. Jo gets her Emma Stones and her Margot Robbies mixed up, while Nina narrowly avoids a slander case from Helena Bonham Carter.


    Roses are on the menu once more, including the very fragrant appeal of Sir David Beckham.

    And the sun is out! Could it really be that spring is here?! It turns out that hedgehogs are like dolphins, AND: how DO bumblebees take off?

    Jo and Nina are back to light up your February days. There's a lot about gardening and a little bit about the Winter Olympics. Will Jo bite the bullet with slugs, and is Nina really a garden ghoul magnet? And a new RHS Flower Show at Badminton...at Badminton...

    Where have they been? Where will they go? It's as if they've never been away. Jo and Nina are back with the real gardening news - from Chelsea Flower Show Gold to funny foxgloves and a revolting cat story. Also, why we should bring back island beds, crazy paving and Bergenia (with a hard 'g').
