Talking Gardens podcast: Episode 4 with James Wong<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this episode, ethnobotanist and self-confessed plant geek James Wong talks us through the immersive, green, tropical garden<\/a> of his dreams, featuring a James Bond-esque glasshouse<\/a>\/living room with a retractable roof. He discusses watching Gardeners\u2019 World<\/em> as a plant-obsessed child in the tropics, back when his dream was a temperate garden. Find out why James would now prefer to fill his garden with foliage<\/a> over flowers<\/a>, how summer-blockbuster movies inspire his terrarium<\/a> designs, and how he thinks poison dart frogs would make the perfect pets.<\/p>\n
