Farming Today This Week: Chelsea Flower Show
Farming Today - Ein Podcast von BBC Radio 4

All this week we've been looking at the business of growing flowers and plants, and we're at the Chelsea Flower Show to hear about what sort of state our horticulture industry is in. The industry of cut flowers and pot plants is big business - according to Government statistics, the UK grew £1.4 billion worth in 2020. We speak to the businesses carving out a niche market for their plants, a fantastic display of clematis and with the news that this week the government will allow commercial growing of gene-edited crops in England, we ask what the possibilities are for plant growers. And we hear from the team who won best in show at this year's Chelsea Flower Show for their rewilded garden. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced for BBC Audio by Caitlin Hobbs
