About this episode

The episode covers the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, highlighting its focus on Parkinson's disease and featuring interviews with plant experts and attendees.

We're at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show! This year's event has a special focus on Parkinson's with the newly named Parkinson's Resilience Rose and the beautifully designed Parkinson's UK show garden. Unsurprisingly, the weather chose to be less than impressive for the day of our visit, but that didn't stop us from enjoying the sites and exploring the PUK plot with the help of the Head Gardeners and charity team. We spoke to a great range of plant experts and show attendees to find out what they thought about this significant year for PD at Chelsea. Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer, Sir Nicholas Mostyn and Jeremy Paxman. Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot. Associate Producer: Lulu Goad Music by Alex Stobbs. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
