You’ll no doubt be familiar with the Royal Horticultural Society, the work they do and the gardens that they keep and this week I’m talking to their President, Keith Weed. Keith talks to me about his passion for horticulture, his own personal garden and all of his other many exciting interests.

Over 5 seasons we’ve delved deep into their inspirations for what they do, no matter their role. Designers, gardeners, writers, presenters, social media sensations, houseplant aficionados and more – all with a common passion for one thing, plants.
- I’m thrilled to say that plans are already afoot for season 6 and I’ll be back in the new year with that and much more.
