In this episode, Andy and Kate discuss why there seems to be such a tension within horticulture and the gardening industry as a whole about making profit from growing. So many of us grow as a hobby that delights, excites and recarges, but we absolutely need profit making businesses within horticulture if our industry has a future.
Equally in the current economic climate in which the cost of living is so high, we should absolutely be talking about the cost benefits of growing your own.
