In this episode, head gardener Troy Scott Smith talks about his ultimate imaginary garden, drawing inspiration from some of the places he has worked, including Iford Manor Gardens in Wiltshire and Bodnant in North Wales. He chats about the legacy of Sissinghurst and reveals why they won’t be watering the borders there in summer anymore. Tune in to find out who inspired him to change his approach, why Troy would always have visitors to his fantasy garden and what he hates about variegated plants.
