Spring is the time of the gardening year where all gardeners sigh with relief, it's really time to get out and about and enjoy the wonderful world of horticulture. A garden waking up and showing its early colour and form is a wonderful space to live and work in, an it's no exception that Lucy and Saul revel in this time of year, as their gardening lives start to get busier with sowing, planting, propagation, mowing, mulching and all other gardening tasks. Sprinkle in some early flower shows and the odd plant fair and our gardening life is complete, so thank god for Spring!

Rain strikes again! So far 80% of the days in the Westcountry this year have been washouts, and when drier, sunny days arrive the ground is so boggy gardening outside is proving tricky! But never fear because gardening indoors is still an option, whether in the greenhouse sowing seeds, potting plants on and gearing up for drier days ahead (hopefully) or in the house with your burgeoning houseplant collection. Houseplants are probably the biggest growth section of horticulture at the moment, with the fashion for a small (or large) collection fuelled by social media, new greenfingered gardeners and a lack of gardening space. Saul is no different having grown and collected many indoor plants since his youth - so join him as he talks everything houseplant from the comfort and 'dry' of his living room!
