More about this episode
In episode 6 of RHS Roots, join host Jo Whiley as she visits 2019 Bake Off winner David Atherton, and his rescue pets, for a tour of his stunning south London kitchen garden. David shares the joy and challenges of growing vegetables while living in Malawi, how he balances time spent gardening with his part-time job as a nurse, and the positive impact of gardening on our mental health and physical fitness.
While taking in the views of the garden, Jo and David also discuss why BBC Gardeners’ World presenters are never seen wearing a particular gardening item, before meeting RHS Horticultural Advisor Becky Mealey, who comes bearing gifts from the RHS Wisley Garden Centre and answers to David’s most pressing gardening issues.
