Throughout August, members of the Scribehound Gardening team are writing about some of the world's great gardens: James and Joe kick things off by introducing their own choices, and discussing the knotty issue of what makes a garden 'great' in the first place. Plus they answer listener question about 'sneak a zucchini day' and how to get drunken badgers out of your garden. And most important of all, they finally make a call on the name of the Scribehound Gardening gnome.
