DIGITAL GARDENING REVOLUTION
The digitalisation of gardening expertise has risen to new heights – essential references sites such as gardenersworld.com are now complemented by editorial and opinionated sites from an ever-increasing variety of extremely talented and knowledgeable individuals – all hail the garden bloggers (gloggers?). Bringing this talent to the fore, the Gardeners Unplugged stage at BBC Gardeners’ World Live is a place to see just a few of the most award-winning names. From Mr Plant Geek to family-favourite Lee Connolly, Life at No.27 to Two Thirsty Gardeners, each has their own take on gardening, individual style and buckets of charisma!
HOUSEPLANT MANIA
The houseplant resurgence is hitting the headlines as we’re buying them in our droves. Houseplants complete the look of a room and offer a range of health and well-being benefits. If you’re low on outdoor space, or don’t have any at all, indoor gardening opens a world of opportunities. At BBC Gardeners’ World Live, the Blooming Interiors Stage features houseplant gurus Jane Perrone (On The Ledge presenter and previous Garden editor of Guardian) and yours truly, Mr Plant Geek, with a houseplant edition of the Weird & Wacky Plant Show! And it’s all hosted by Radio 4 Gardeners’ Question Time expert Matt Biggs. Go on to create your indoor jungle from exhibitors in the Floral Marquee. Then see some specialist demos on care of orchids and succulents at the Demo Bench.

This is the year that we’re going to be making the most of every inch of garden. If there’s a long ignored, tricky spot in your garden, 2018 is the year to tackle it!
