Spring is the season when gardeners throw off the hibernation and slumber of months of wet feet, many layers and waterproofs and are reborn anew! The stirring of life in the garden is one of the years great experiences, and makes a gardening life such a worthwhile pursuit, not only is it good for the planet to see the earth greening up, it is also good for the gardeners soul. But there is still lots of hard work to get on with - seeds have to be sown, mulch laid, supports erected and lawns mown. So join Lucy and Saul as they continue their professional gardening lives in the pure heaven that is Spring!
Lucy is off for her Easter break, so Saul invites an old friend, fellow Kew graduate and now Head of Horticultural Relations at the Royal Horticultural Society, Emma Allen, to join him in conversation about her teams role at the charity. She has a large remit of very interesting roles which includes Funding Bursaries, in which she wants to encourage a wide range of diverse backgrounds to apply for funding to help realise long held study and networking ambitions. We also chat about the evolution of the charities seven Expert Groups (formerly know as the Plant committees) and the long standing and fruitful relationships with the RHS Partner Gardens, a key benefit of being a member.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
