Talking Gardens podcast: Episode 4 with James Wong
In this episode, ethnobotanist and self-confessed plant geek James Wong talks us through the immersive, green, tropical garden of his dreams, featuring a James Bond-esque glasshouse/living room with a retractable roof. He discusses watching Gardeners’ World as a plant-obsessed child in the tropics, back when his dream was a temperate garden. Find out why James would now prefer to fill his garden with foliage over flowers, how summer-blockbuster movies inspire his terrarium designs, and how he thinks poison dart frogs would make the perfect pets.
