Today’s guest is Lee Connelly, or you might know him as The Skinny Jean Gardener. Lee has been passionately plugging children’s gardening for years, as a BBC Blue Peter presenter, on stage, around the world, in his book, and recently lobbying here in the UK government to get gardening back on the curriculum. 

We sat down in his garden, on what turned out to be the hottest day of the year, and talked about all of that and why gardening should be more accessible to the younger generation and the multitude of benefits that will bring.

Hosted by Tom Coleman, self taught gardener, creator and social media expert. Tom chats to those who are making huge strides in our sector and leaves listeners with even more ideas and motivation blossoming in their minds.
