On the show today: Gardening Hour sees Olympia and Paul Plant talk about tree hugging! Paul discusses the concept of Biophilia and how cosying up to our plants and trees can be stabilising for many people. It’s also part of the reason for the increased presence of vertical gardens in our cityscapes. Speaking of trees, Paul also answers your questions about avocado trees, getting rid of baby snails – PLUS Paul introduces his plant of the week: the highly-desired Variegated Spider Lily (Hymenocallis caribaea ‘Variegata’), a common pick for landscapers.
