Beyond the fertile crescent

Heligan’s Head of Gardens and Estate Alasdair Moore is joined by guests Andrew Omerod, Andy Wilson, Paul Doidge, Yoko Briggs and Louis Duddridge. It’s High Summer at Heligan, and time for a solstice celebration. We discuss Emmer Wheat and its role as the foundation of human experience, agriculture, civilisation but also colonialism, check in on Heligan’s ongoing glass-house restoration, and discover the joys of summer found in the Flower Garden and Pig Palace alike.  Hosted on Acast.
