Each year, millions of plant pots contribute to our ecological crisis, casting a shadow on the vibrant tapestry of our horticultural legacy.

In this episode I'm joined by Graham from Wool Pots. They had an idea to ditch the mountain of plastic pots that plagues horticulture and knit their way into garden centres and nurseries on stitch at a time. Can wool pots be the sustainable answer for our plants of the future? They're already making huge strides with trials in some of the UK's biggest garden centre chains... No corner is left unturned as we discuss the challenges and hurdles that come with a drive for a more sustainable future. Hosted by Tom Coleman, self taught gardener, creator and social media expert.
