From the Archive: Halloween Special

Available for over a year

Kathy Clugston dusts the cobwebs off the Gardeners’ Question Time archives for a spooky selection of supernatural gardening advice from the past 79 years of the program. This Halloween special is packed with ghostly gardening tales, monstrous pumpkins, and poisonous plants. The panel share advice on encouraging bats into the garden, managing an invasion of spiders and revisit a compost bin so overrun with worms that it burst open. Along the way, Chris Beardshaw ventures into the infamous Poison Garden at Alnwick, home to over 100 toxic, intoxicating, and narcotic plants. Producer: Dulcie Whadcock Assistant Producer: Will Norton A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4 * If listening on BBC Sounds and you wish to view the plant list, please go to the Gardeners' Question Time website and open this week's episode page.
