Talking Gardens podcast: Episode 1 with Fergus Garrett<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this episode, head gardener Fergus Garrett<\/a> talks about his fantasy garden, from the borders of Great Dixter<\/a>, where he has worked since 1992, and the spirit of its creator Christopher Lloyd, to the wild landscapes of Turkey. Fergus picks interesting people and places from all over the world to be a part of his dream space, and talks about who might take on running Dixter after him.<\/p>\n

Find out why he couldn\u2019t live without features such as a hunk of rock, and why he would have to have a magic portal, a meadow and a sneaky cocktail \u2013 but would bar the garden gate to snobbery and a no-can-do attitude.<\/p>\n
