The Happy Garden Podcast

Friday, 19 June 2026 - 46 minutes

Mollie heads off to the NEC as the build begins for the show gardens at GWL 2026. Meet show Director Bob Sweet and hear from Alice as well as Kate Patrick who has designed the Folkorians garden. The feature garden this year is called The Evolution Garden and it's been designed by Prof. Alice Roberts and Dr. David Stevens and our very own Darren has the job of planting it! All goes swimmingly until a digger hits a water pipe and then it turns in to the wrong kind of swimming!Follow us on Instagram and Facebook. We'd love to hear from you too!
