Feature on BBC Gardeners' World!

A television crew from BBC Gardeners' World spent the day at Katie’s Garden Plant Centre filming the plants we are growing for this year’s Chelsea Flower Show.

The results air on BBC Two at 9pm on Friday 5th May, or catch-up with Episode 8 on the iPlayer www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b006mw1h/gardeners-world

The collection of unusual perennials, grasses and ferns will soon be heading off to London to become part of the Talitha Arts Garden. The garden has been designed by first-time entrants Joe and Laura Carey of Carey Garden Design Studio in Norfolk and the piece will be focusing on their experience of taking part in ‘the world’s greatest flower show’.

The team from the BBC also found time to interview Katie’s Garden’s owner, Susie Davis, about the new alternatives to peat-free compost, as the nursery works to reduce its own use of peat in the plants it grows.

Among the plants the Careys were interviewed about were the ornamental grass Melica uniflora; perennial Peucedanum rablense, which bears a resemblance to cow parsley; Aquilegia buergeriana, an unusual Columbine; and Geums Bremners Nectarin and Bell Bank.
