It's all over for another year! We have a look back at the show and have a chat with Kate from The Folklorian Garden and also Stan from Craighouse Cacti to find out what they won and how they found the show. We also hear how one of the groups had their van stolen the night before the show which had all of the plants and sculptures for their display. What happened next was nothing short of astounding. Find out more, just press play!

Mollie heads off to the NEC as the build begins for the show gardens at GWL 2026. Meet show Director Bob Sweet and hear from Alice as well as Kate Patrick who has designed the Folkorians garden. The feature garden this year is called The Evolution Garden and it's been designed by Prof. Alice Roberts and Dr. David Stevens and our very own Darren has the job of planting it! All goes swimmingly until a digger hits a water pipe and then it turns in to the wrong kind of swimming!

A tomato based podcast! Mollie met Simon Conway, chair of the British Tomato Growers Association at Farmfest. They had the most spectacular stall promoting British growers. Hear their chat. Do you know what you should be doing with your toms right now if you're growing your own? Darren has all the advice you need. Andy Lound has the history of the tomato and there are a few tomato based jokes too... We also find out all about Open Farm Sunday which takes place on Sunday 7th June. Lots of giggles along the way as always. Press play!
