Episode 36: Exotic Plants and Why Plant Lovers Should Fear December 2019 With Graham Blunt of Plantbase Nursery in Wadhurst

To be completely contrary after her plea for gardeners to plant more native plants, Sarah interviews Graham Blunt of Plantbase, a nursery specialising in the most fabulous, exotic and downright bizarre plants! Graham talks about hardy palms, his favourite exotic trees, cacti and succulents that can be grown outdoors and how to overwinter caudex plants and bananas. Graham has also been intensively researching new regulations that come into play in December 2019 and how these will affect plant lovers. He reckons that Brexit will seem like a "small gust of wind" compared to the potential havoc wreaked by new CITES, Plant Health and Nagoya regulations due to come into effect on Dec 14th 2019. If you buy garden or indoor plants, this episode will be of real interest. www.plantbase.co.uk Plantbase, Sleepers Stile Road, Cousley Wood, Wadhurst, East Sussex, TN5 6QX. 01892 785599 07967 601064 plantbaseuk@gmail.com Twitter: @Plantbaseuk Get in touch; Email podcast@rootsandall.co.uk Website www.rootsandall.co.uk Twitter @rootsandall Instagram rootsandallpod Patreon Link; Help us keep the podcast free & independent!
