In this weeks episode, Michael travels to Boston,
in the UK, not the US, to find out about the last commercial
conifer nursery in the UK, Golden Grove. He talks to Zoe and
Karolina about their love of conifers, and why it’s time to look at
them through a different lens. We think you’re gonna love this
episode and we dare you to go and buy a conifer ASAP.
The ideal place to pick up your conifer is one of
British Garden Centres locations, and they are the sponsor of the
season of the podcast!
