This week Tom is chatting to Cara Thompson, or you’ll probably know her as ‘make it flourish’ - After years being creative as a TV art director, working on the likes of Eastenders, Cara found herself in the middle of lockdown as a new mum, struggling with not seeing friends and family. She focussed on transforming her garden that Summer… and in the process fell in love with gardening. She caught the bug, and since then she’s been passionate about encouraging others to get growing... With sow alongs and instagram lives, Make it Flourish has become a movement! Connecting people, giving hope, and inspiring people of all ages and abilities to give growing stuff a go.
Now she finds herself with her biggest challenge yet as she creates a garden for BBC Gardeners’ world live, Audley End - listen on to find out how it all went...

This episode is also available to watch in full on Youtube.
