Ep. 265 - Whilst Lucy (and the rest of the UK) performs a rain dance, Saul is experiencing his usual Devon weather - blow some our way, Saul! But his mind is rightly so on his 10-year anniversary as Stonelands Head Gardener - congratulations, Mr W!

Spring is the season when gardeners throw off the hibernation and slumber of months of wet feet, many layers and waterproofs and are reborn anew! The stirring of life in the garden is one of the years great experiences, and makes a gardening life such a worthwhile pursuit, not only is it good for the planet to see the earth greening up, it is also good for the gardeners soul. But there is still lots of hard work to get on with - seeds have to be sown, mulch laid, supports erected and lawns mown. So join Lucy and Saul as they continue their professional gardening lives in the pure heaven that is Spring!With no rain on the horizon for Lucy and plenty for Saul, the East - West divide is playing out true to form. But other traditionally damper UK regions are also experiencing dry weather, giving the gardening duo plenty to talk about. Musing aside, Saul has been busy erecting bamboo canes, whilst Lucy has been wielding her saws and fine-tuning her ears to local birdsong. Mr Walker can also now celebrate his first decade as a Head Gardener - congratulations, Mr W! Let's hope the NGS group left you a decent slice of cake on Thursday.LinkedIn link:Saul WalkerInstagram link:Lucy lucychamberlaingardensIntro and Outro music from https://filmmusic.io"Fireflies and Stardust" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)Support the show
