You're about to listen to a BBC podcast, but this is about something else you might enjoy.

My name's Katie Lecky and I'm an assistant commissioner for on demand music on BBC Sounds.

The BBC has an incredible musical heritage and culture and as a music lover, I love being part of that.

With music on sounds, we offer collections and mixes for everything, from workouts to

helping you nod off, boogie in your kitchen, or even just a moment of calm. And they're all

put together by people who know their stuff. So if you want some expertly curated music in your

life, check out BBC Sounds.

BBC Sounds, music, radio, podcasts.

Hello, I'm Cathy Clugston, and this is Gardner's Question Time from BBC Radio 4.

So grab those secateurs or sit back and relax, however you like to listen,

and enjoy the next 45 minutes of great tips advice and dubious horticultural humour.

Hello and welcome to GQT. We are back in the village of Ridgewell in the Braintree

District of Essex, the driest county in the UK. It's hard for me to compute coming from Northern Ireland,

but this part of Britain receives the same amount of rainfall as Malta, Cyprus and Turkey.

Regular listeners will have heard us mention Essex's parched plots before, and anyone who's

visited nearby RHS Garden Hyde Hall or Beth Chato's Garden will be aware of the work

needed to grow plants that not only cope but thrive in low rainfall. Right plant, right place is the

perennial motto. Well, Braintree's district coat of arms also has a motto by wisdom and foresight.

I can't think of a better way to describe

our horticultural experts today.

From Yorkshire, via London,

it's Royal Parks Head of Horticulture, Matthew Potich.
