515 - The Plant Review: Waxcap Wonderlands, ancient apples, and your questions answered

A new season, and a new edition of The Plant Review, the quarterly magazine published by The RHS that delves a little deeper than the regular RHS Garden mag. If you prefer your plant stories and horticultural happenings that bit more detailed, The Plant Review is the publication for you. In this special programme, RHS plant pathologist Jassy Drakulic talks fungi in lawns, Plant Review editor James Armitage tells the story of Blanche Ada’s Thornycroft apples, and Gareth Richards and Melissa Mabbitt answer your gardening questions.

Host: Gareth Richards, James Armitage

Producer: Dan Cocker

Contributors: Jassy Drakulic, Melissa Mabbitt
