Beth Chatto is one of the most influential gardeners in Britain. Best known for her pioneering, ecological approach to gardening she explains how she came up with the concept. Her philosophy was developed in the 1960s but seems even more relevant to gardeners today given regular hose pipe bans and climate change. In a special edition of Woman’s Hour Martha Kearney visits Beth Chatto at her gardens in Elmstead Market, Essex to hear how she created one of Britain’s best-loved gardens from a patch of wasteland at the back of her husband’s fruit farm. She reflects on how her passion for plants and garden design has turned her into such an inspirational figure in the gardening world.
