Younger Gardeners, Missing Hori Hori & Gardening Gospel

James Alexander-Sinclair and Joe Swift lay down the only two rules: no dead plants and no dull questions. In return, you get:

– A surprisingly deep dive into how to design an Arsenal-inspired garden without turning it into “blood and bandages”

– Botanical tattoos, family poppies, pirate-era decisions, and whether young people are about to go off tattoos entirely

– A full-on debate about how to pronounce Latin plant names without sounding like a posh idiot (or doing accidental Italian cosplay)

– The real talk on getting younger people into gardening – and why gardeners should be paid properly

– Tool bags vs buckets vs belts, the tragedy of the missing hori hori, and the underrated genius of painting your tools bright yellow

Plus: a reminder we’re going LIVE – 10 March, 7pm, - Nicholson’s Nurseries (West Oxfordshire).
