The Plant Based Podcast S5 Episode Three - Hear about the journey and origins of plants with Ambra Edwards

This week, I’m talking Head Gardeners with Ambra Edwards; why she chose the ones she did to feature in her book of that name, the diverse range of tasks they undertake and what makes a good one. I ask Ambra what prompted her to write a book about some of the legendary and some of the unsung heroes of the horticultural world and if she could swap places with one, whose boots would she choose to fill.  Dr Ian Bedford’s Bug of the Week: Gooseberry sawfly This episode is sponsored by gardencourses.com. gardencourses.com offers online horticultural training for those looking to develop their own, home gardens. The lasted course to be added is Create Your Garden Sanctuary - you can go to gardencourses.com to find out more.  What we cover How Ambra chose the head gardeners included in the book Is there any such thing as a typical head gardener? Some of the unexpected roles the gardeners in the book have to perform How much gardens are expressions of the personality of the head gardener Is it stifling for a head gardener to stick to historical plans/designs and not inject their own creativity into a space?  What makes a great head gardener?  Gardening as a profession  About Ambra Edwards Ambra Edwards is a journalist with a special interest in garden history, and the people, passions and often surprising stories that lie behind our gardens.
