The Ideal Gardens Podcast
A new horticultural and gardening podcast by Jeremy Price who will be joined by his partner Trudi to ask the questions everyone wants to know the answers to, this podcast is for anyone who would like an ideal garden, or gain more garden knowledge. Based in Gloucestershire the shows will have a regional element to them if discussing seasonal weather and the local climate but the hints and tips can be enjoyed by all listeners!
Jeremy will be sharing expertise gained over his 30 year career in horticulture which includes working on award winning Chelsea and Hampton Court Flower Show gardens and his own Medal winning garden at Malvern Flower Show. The main focus of his career has been plant-based focusing on garden development of borders and all types of planting techniques and pruning skills.
The Ideal Gardens Podcast will have monthly podcast releases with hints and tips suitable for small gardens to large gardens and is aimed at listeners who think they are not a gardener, as well as gardeners that want to pick up new information based on methods they may not have come across before.
The world of gardening information is huge and varied but this podcast will help you to become an expert in your own garden and how to get to know your space better. In the future we plan to have demonstration videos to accompany the shows and maybe a subscription to help support the show's development.
