Ep. 91 - There is nothing more spectacular in Spring than a Magnolia in full flower - so Saul and Lucy take a dive into the world of this seasonal wonder.

Spring is in the air - as the early season flowers bring a hint of colour and joy, banishing the winter blues away. Head Gardeners such as Lucy and Saul relish this moment in the year as the starting gun for a season of flower, foliage and ultimate fun. Gardening kicks off and all the hard work of winter enters a crescendo of horticultural wonder. Magnolia trees are one of the spectacles in Spring that many people will drive miles out of their way to see - a cloud of white/pink flowers with subtle scents marks the point where winter gives way to the new growing year in style. Magnolia is a very diverse genus and there are many guidelines on their cultivation to ponder before you plant one, so Lucy and Saul take a look at this most magnificent of woody species.   Twitter links:Saul @GardeningSaulLucy @HeadGardenerLCIntro 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
