Huw Richards (UK) // Welsh countryside, Impact Planting, Hot Beds, Weeding, Composting

Avant Gardeners

We came across Huw Richards perhaps the odd-way around, first picking up his amazing book 'Veg In One Bed' before discovering his huge online presence. Huw has been gardening since the age of 3 on his parents' smallholding in mid-west Wales. He started a YouTube channel aged 12, which has since received over 100 million views. Huw's gardening is driven by curiosity, experimentation and impact planting. It's obvious how much joy he derives from striving for flavour and beauty in the garden. He's a brilliant communicator and oh boy did we love this chat with him. Check out his Substack, find him on Insta or Youtube. Huw's latest book is called The Self Sufficiency Garden.

In this episode we’re drinking Waubs Harbour Distillery whisky (yep, we've gone top shelf). We're talking about Australia's Big Things, Clematis 'Freckles', the cows have set Em's native trees back a couple of years and we're recommending 'Growing Vegetables South Of Australia' by Steve SolomonAll the things.
