Listen "Advolly Richmond - History and Flowers!"
Episode Synopsis
Hello and welcome back to a brand-new season - we’re back for a whopping sixth season of the podcast with new guests and brand-new stories and conversations and this time I'm using this as my chance to celebrate the amazing women of horticulture with a season I'm calling 'A Celebration of Women in Plants'!
Gardener’s World continually inspires and entertains us in equal measure, but I find myself hooked, in particular, to the segments that delve into the history of gardens and gardening over the years. Advolly Richmond is a historian who specialises in this exact area, and she can frequently be seen on Gardener’s World, bringing us the past, present and future of gardening. Now, Advolly brings us a book that shares the history of plant names, their origins and so much more. In this episode we discuss the book and a great deal else too, enjoy! You can find out more from Advolly by following her on Instagram and Twitter. A Short History of Flowers is out now from Frances Lincoln and is available in all good bookshops.
