Shownotes Transcript

In the British Isles we’ve lost 90% of our wetlands in the past 100 years, but designing your garden with pond space opens up the opportunity to bring the regal beauty of Waterlilies into your garden.

Waterside Nursery exhibits their extraordinary displays at Chelsea Flower Show, and you’ll struggle to find a greater advocate for the Water Lily than Linda Smith. 

Arthur chats to Linda this week on the various sizes of Water Lily, how to design your pond to bring them to life, and ways to encourage wildlife to enjoy your garden.

In this episode, discover:

  • The inspiration behind the start of Linda’s Water Lily nursery
  • Linda’s marvellous exhibitions at Chelsea Flower Show
  • Standout varieties from each size category of Waterlilies
  • Design advice for tailoring your pond to plants and wildlife alike
