It's an exciting week on Home Grown, Jamie Walton (@nettlesandpetals) and Martha Swales (@marfskitchengarden) are joined by their very first guest. Gardener, author and TV presenter Frances Tophill.

Frances has inspired a new generation to see gardening as a way to live more gently with the world. From her work on Gardeners’ World and Love Your Garden to her own wildlife-filled home life, she shares her thoughtful take on growing for joy, biodiversity and balance.

She reveals her brave fashion choices at her first TV audition, her passion for pottery, and how her fabulous new book delves into the mystery and folklore of wildflowers

Plus she tackles the questions that matter, from cats or dogs to the contentious choice of Gardeners’ World vs Love Your Garden.

We love hearing your questions - do get in touch:
