Discover gardening secrets with Mark Lane and Lottie Allen, a National Trust expert
Ever wondered how we keep gardens looking their best? Lottie Allen, Head Gardener at Hidcote in Gloucestershire, and Mark Lane, landscape designer and TV presenter, answer some of your thorny gardening questions to dig deep into the secrets of great gardening.
Lottie and Mark discuss the best plants for small spaces and community gardens, how to look after bulbs, how to get the best out of wisteria and much more as they answer some of our members’ gardening questions.
Hidcote is a world-famous Arts and Crafts-inspired garden nestled in the rolling Cotswold hills, created by talented designer, Major Lawrence Johnston. He designed the garden in phases, furnishing borders with newly discovered plants from 1907-1938.
Lottie is part of the team at Hidcote working to care for this historic garden. She’s been Head Gardener for nearly five years, and strives to celebrate Johnston’s vision of the garden by balancing its heritage with current horticultural practices.
Mark Lane is a multi-award-winning garden designer, focusing on sustainability, biodiversity and inclusivity. He’s also a well-known TV presenter, radio broadcaster and writer, presenting on BBC’s Gardeners’ World and as the gardening expert on BBC Morning Live.
