About this episode

The episode recaps Gardeners' World 2026 episode 7, discussing wildlife bridges, gardening tips, and updates from various gardens.

This week on our Gardeners' World 2026 recap of episode 7 we have a look at the UK’s first heathlands wildlife bridge and compare it to the The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing in California, though we struggle to process the contrast in build costs🤷🏼‍♀️ We also find out the origin of Caesar Salads, why a pound cake is called a pound cake, the chemistry behind why some people don't like coriander, and we excessively debate how armadillos cross a body of water. On Gardeners' World we visit Beth Chatto's Garden and find out about euphorbias from Jamie Butterworth, and we enjoy a tour of Sandhill Farmhouse Garden with its owner, garden guru, Rosemary Alexander, founder of The English Gardening School. Finally Sue Kent gives us an update from her garden in Swansea before Andrew Mills shows us the incredible anemones at Burncoose Nurseries in Gwennap, Redruth. In this week's Chit-Chat-Catch-Up we find out how Dan Stearne, Peter & Helleentje Walker, and Greg Anderton got on at Harrogate Spring Flower Show. 🌿 We also remind our listeners that Dan's Plants is giving a 10% discount on all his award winning plants with our exclusive code NJAG10 🌸 Relevant links can be found on…
