Ep41: A Good Ol' Chit-Chat With... Tamsin Westhorpe

To say we were chuffed to bits is an understatement when Tamsin Westhorpe offered to join us for episode 41 of A Good Ol’ Chit-Chat! Although her uncle Raymond Treasure was in front of the camera when Gardeners’ World visited Stockton Bury Gardens earlier this year, Tamsin was very much involved behind the scenes, and we get to hear a lot more about the history of the gardens, how it’s being run today, and some of Tamsin’s plans for its future. We also hear about the Bridget Jones of gardening, the giant monkey puzzle tree planted by Tamsin’s great great grandfather (and where Matt Biggs from Gardeners’ Question Time thinks it originates from), how not to water plants, Tamsin and Raymond’s radically different techniques for splitting waterlilies, and her very sophisticated way of drinking wine!Some mentions from Tamsin, links can be found here: https://notjustagarden.co.uk/gardens/Sparsholt College in WinchesterHergest Croft GardensHerefordshire Art FestivalMore Not Just a GardenPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/NotJustaGarden/homeWebsite: https://notjustagarden.co.uk/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/notjusta_garden/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555857724677A companion podcast for Gardeners’ World viewers, featuring weekly recaps and Chit-Chats with guests & presenters from the programmeJoin the community for episode plant lists, discounts, recommendations, blogs, links, photos, & more by subscribing at https://notjustagarden.co.uk/ Hosted on Acast.
