Today Roz is joined in the studio by Tom Simpson from Woolmans. 

Tom has been in the horticultural industry really, from a work point of view ever since he left school. Tom's first interest in gardening stems right back from when he was a very young child through his parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles. 

Key discussion points in todays episode:

• Single flowers are more popular than ever before. 
• How do you know if your soil is free-draining?
