I also delve into the heartfelt story behind Beth Sunflowers, a charity bringing light and joy through gardening. Plus, get introduced to Bountiful Pink, a new, easy-to-grow plant from the Young People's Horticultural Association.


Beyond the interviews, I explore the broader themes of sustainability that permeated the entire event – from ditching plastic pots to supporting local farmers and making our daily lives a little greener.
