Borde Hill Blossoms with Jay Goddard and Mark Bobin

Britain's country estates must honour their history while looking ahead. In this episode, Julia and I talk with Jay Goddard and Mark Bobin from Borde Hill in Sussex to learn how their historic garden became home to nearly 100 champion trees and a national collection of rhododendrons. We also hear about their exciting plans for a new 'garden to plate' restaurant, which will use produce from an edimental walled garden designed by Anne-Marie Powell. I explain why copper keeps slugs and snails away, and Julia gives an update on her efforts to grow a healthier lawn as she waits for a hollow-tine aerator to arrive.
