Summary
As it’s the #ChelseaFlowerShow this week, we have a very special guest who’s more qualified than anyone to talk about gardening, it’s the wonderful Arthur Parkinson. He’s the author of The Flower Yard, he’s brilliant on Instagram (even though he wishes we weren’t so dependent on it) AND he’s even doing some modelling, which to us, is no surprise. Arthur gave me some great flower recommendations for Valentine’s day, told me how chickens help combat his depression and why he identifies with Anne Robinson and Joanne Lumley. It’s a good one, plant a seed by pressing play and letting it grow in your ears - Chris x
