This week I'm chatting to Leigh Hunt, Principal Horticultural Advisor at the RHS, about what really goes on behind the scenes of the Society's advice service, the questions gardeners ask most often, and what those thousands of enquiries reveal about the way we're gardening in a changing climate.

His ideas about working with plants, rather than against them, make this an excellent companion to Leigh\u2019s observations on the changing questions the RHS is receiving as gardeners adapt to new weather patterns and growing conditions. Episode 321: Weathering It All Sarah talks to writer and naturalist Matt Gaw about our relationship with weather, exploring how storms, drought and seasonal change shape both landscapes and our experience of nature. It complements Leigh\u2019s insights into how increasingly unpredictable weather is influencing the advice sought by gardeners across the UK.
