Sip & Sow with Tom Coleman

BONUS EPISODE: Sowing Inspiration with Leanne Wood

Leanne Wood Season 2 Episode 4

Okay, hands up, we had a little technical error when we were recording this weeks podcast, and for some reason our microphones didn't work when we recorded this section with Leanne. It sounded odd in the main episode, but we couldn't not let you hear it as a standalone bonus, because it's just such an inspirational conversation with one incredible lady.

This year at BBC Gardener's World Live Leanne Wood traded her place as a teacher, for one as a garden designer. Incorporating the best of both into her garden inspired by her grandparents' garden and featuring things for everyone of every age. For all of her hard work she received a platinum award along with top awards for best beautiful border of the whole show and best magazine subscriber.
