With such variety and high standards expected it’s no mean feat. The star of this episode of The Plant Based Podcast is Peter Goodchild, leader of the Alpine team at RHS Wisley. Peter talks to Michael and Ellen about his journey from gardener at Legoland to being responsible for a stunning display of Alpines which attracts visitors from far and wide.  He discusses how the diversity of plants at Wisley can change through the year and the complexities that brings for the team in always ensuring there is seasonal interest for guests.
