265: Rosemary Hardy, Hardys Cottage Garden Plants

The Sodshow Garden Podcast - every Friday - live 3pm - 4pm in iTunes and all good podcast stores. Podcast listen/ subscribe: The SodShow in iTunes The Sodshow in Stitcher – for android users This Friday, Peter Donegan chats with Rosemary Hardy. The designer of The Brewin Dolpin Garden - Forever Freefolk, this was Rosie's first show garden, designed and built on main avenue at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2016. On this episode of the garden podcast we chat the now 21 consecutive RHS Chelsea gold medals - more than any other person in RHS Chelsea's history in the floral pavillion and just how this very amazing lady started and built a business now sited on 13 acres of Hampshire countryside, growing over 1600 different varieties of herbaceous perennials that is Hardys nursery. Of course and as always Peter goes way off the point - would it be a Sodshow if he didn't ? - but returns to talk about herbaceous plant propagation by division, dangerous (?) decisions in a first show garden design and just how many Rosie's it takes to make a garden podcast. Our very special thanks to Rose Tinted PR for her work behind the scenes on this one.
