And today I'm really happy to be joined by Beyer.

I used to think of her as Beyer Burke, but she's now Bayer Andrews.

But I say she is now, because that's

ridiculous because actually she's been married for eight years or more, much more. Longer, yes,

yes, so 2009, so that would be 15 years. Yeah, there we are, you see. Anyway, and the reason I know

there is that she was our head gardener before Josie, and she lived here at Perch Hill for five or six years and ran the garden here.

And do you know what, Beah is responsible for the Venetian tulip collection, which has been one of the best selling tulip collections in the company for decades.

And that is because it is so good.

And the thing about bear is she has a wonderful eye. So she's really, really brilliant garden and

horticulturist. But now, since she has had a family, which is why she left, she got married,

here in fact, at Purchill, and has a son who's now well into his teenage years.

But she's come back to join us as our florist because she now has her own business with a little flower farm.

And she runs training and teaching and does lots of wedding events and parties and

things and she's called botanica floral but anyway welcome bear it's so lovely to be back in touch

thank you so much sarah for having me it's a real honor and just so lovely to you know to be able to

talk about all the all the flowery things and you know it's so lovely to, you know, to be able to talk about all the flowery things.
