Loving Your Garden - Better Gardening Podcast
Loving Your Garden is a Facebook Group set up by broadcaster Rod Whiting during the first Covid lockdown in April 2020. It has quickly grown to nearly 450 thousand passionate and inspiring gardeners, thanks in no small part to knowledgeable and expert members like John Stirland. John has more than fifty years of experience in horticulture and you can now access his knowledge and that of our members as we link our podcast to LYG’s fortnightly live feed. Each week, we’ll discuss the jobs to be done, plant suggestions and answer your questions. If you love your garden and aspire to be a better gardener, join our Facebook group (Link here: https://bit.ly/3oIzVr9), and increase your knowledge from the likes of John, our more experienced members and regular expert guests. Feel free to email your questions or suggestions on what you would like us to feature in our podcast to rod@lovingyourgarden.org Thanks for listening!

Later Summer Flower Suggestions
John Stirland provides a few suggestions for border fillers that will provide late Summer and early Autumn colour. There's also advice on hedge trimming and answers to listener questions on figs and dealing with fruit pests. There are so many plant contenders so we're only scratching the surface here but John has gone for plants that will tolerate most soils and conditions. Plants we didn't get around to discussing but really should have done include Agapanthus, Crocosmia, Eryngium, Clerodendron etc but we will get around to it as Autumn approaches.
If you have any gardening questions, John is a hugely knowledgeable horticulturist so feel free to email them to rod@rodwhitingcommunications.co.uk and we'll tackle them in our weekly live event which you can find on our Loving Your Garden Facebook Group page every Tuesday evening at 6pm (UK time) We'll also include any answer in our next podcast episode.
