From Chemistry to Clematis on Lesley Watson's Horticultural Journey | S10 E1 Scotland Grows Show.

“There’s nothing beats actually being outside and seeing how plants grow.” Get ready in this episode to be inspired by one of Scotland’s most influential gardening voices! RHS Judge, former garden centre owner at New Hopetoun Gardens, and Beechgrove Garden legend, Lesley Watson joins us for a personal deep-dive. From her pivot as chemistry teaching to horticulture, from her behind-the-scenes stories at Beechgrove to wisdom and plant choices from decades spent running a garden centre and judging at RHS shows, Lesley’s practical tips and passion for inspiring others in the garden will leave you itching to get outside. So pull up a seat - preferably in your own garden as Lesley recommends a seat as one of the important pieces of equipment in your garden - and enjoy this episode as we dig into gardening, designing, and inspiring advice with Lesley Watson.
