Green-fingered DJ Jo Whiley headed to the festival for the first time to talk about her love of gardening and music, while a host of horticultural heroes, including garden designer Chris Beardshaw, florist Jonathan Moseley, plantswoman Sarah Raven and TV gardener Frances Tophill completed the line-up.
