Ep50: A Good Ol' Chit-Chat With... Nick Macer

It's our half century episode and to celebrate we have our very first Gardeners' World presenter!🎉🕺 Nick Macer from Pan Global Plants presented a series of episodes in 2016 and he joins us as we travel back in time to a little schoolboy Nick still finding his feet, through to a big adult Nick owning one of the most celebrated specialist plant nurseries in the UK. We also hear about plant hunting, why Mexico and south west China have such rich flora, poison dart frogs, forest bathing, Nick's until now unrealised love of fairy-lights, and some very good news for bamboo.Some mentions from Nick, links can be found here: https://notjustagarden.co.uk/gardens/George’s Jungle Garden Video with Dr Simon Olpin, SheffieldKells BayAlan Mitchell Trees of Britain and Northern EuropeWestonbirt ArboretumHillier ArboretumThe Hillier Manual of Trees and ShrubsCowley ManorPainswick Rococo GardensEdulis Nursery Paul BarneySlimbridge Wildlife and Wetland CentreMore 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/notjustagarden/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NotJustaGardenA 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.
