Hello and welcome to the BBC Gardner's World magazine podcast, brought to you by the team here at the magazine.

Join us as we chat all things gardening with the nation's favourite experts.

Sue Kent burst onto our TV screens in 2020, with her exuberant home videos from her Swansea Garden. Her vivacious, can-do attitude has shown that having physical differences need not prevent you gardening, and has ensured she has become a regular fixture on Gardner's World.

I'm Catherine Mansley, digital editor at Gardner's World magazine, and I caught up with Sue to find out if her garden is as vibrant as she is.

I asked her to share how she uses colour in her garden, how those colours make her feel, and what she's planning next in her own garden and her

wider gardening career. What's your approach to choosing plant colours for your garden? Do you just

throw everything in or do you follow a strict colour scheme? I used to throw everything in and then I

wasn't happy with it and then I looked at some plants. You know, I went to throw everything in and then I wasn't happy with it. And then I looked at some plants.

You know, I went to visit a couple of friends and the happy coincidences that plants come

together and they, when they work well, how different it is on the, on your eyes.

So I now try and think a lot more about it.

There is one border I've got where I throw everything in,

but everything else is a much more thoughtful process.

And I like to sort of try and try them outside the border in pots before I plant them.

And how would you describe the colour scheme in your garden?

I think as a lot of pink, white and blues and green and purples.

But, you know, I do like block planting.

So some of it is in this big blocks of pink in, from August onwards.

And there's more yellows and blues in the spring.
