Ep 22. Delightful Dog Roses and Dr Ian Bedford pt. 2

A new year is upon us and we start in style by taking a break from our own rules and discuss wildlife we've seen outside gardens over the Christmas holidays. Then we return to the fantastic Dr Ian Bedford who tells us exactly why there is no need for pesticides in any garden! We finish by discussing the delightful Dog Rose, whose ruby red berries speckle hedgerows up and down the country over winter.
