Mic The Gardener - Gardening Podcast - Hellebores with John Massey (VMH) & Kevin Belcher

Hello and welcome back to this week's episode of the Mic the Gardener - Gardening Podcast. And so here it is, the one you've all been waiting for, including me! So many of you have contacted me asking if we can do a special episode on hellebores. There's clearly a lot of love for our heavenly hellebores out there, and I'm a massive fan, that's for sure. So, I racked my brain, wondering who I could approach to talk to about these wonderful plants. There was, in all honesty, only one person on my agenda, so I dropped him a line. And, lo and behold, he agreed.  I am, of course, talking about the wonderful, John Massey (VMH). John suggested, however, that he bring along his top hellebore breeder, Kevin Belcher, to join in the conversation. You wait just over two two years for a hellebore expert come along and then two come along at once! This fascinating and insightful episode will have you reaching for pen and paper to jot down some timely and extremely helpful hellebore facts as we discuss: How to get the very best in your hellebores Planting tips Maintenance advice Dealing with pests and diseases Propagation, and much, much more My thanks to John and Kevin for their time, and for making the recording of this episode an absolute delight.
