Growing tea, revitalising your soil and gardening the mind

David Maxwell is joined by Cherry Townsend and Maurice Parkinson for a winter gardening phone-in programme.

Join David Maxwell for another Gardeners’ Corner episode full of inspiration. This week - everyone loves a cuppa in the garden, but have you thought about growing your own teas? Whether your tipple is builders brew or fragrant herbs, Amy Kelly has some advice. One listener is pulling down an old garage and is wondering how he can bring soil buried under concrete for decades back to life. And what’s the evidence that gardening is really good for us? Psychiatrist Sue Stuart Smith chats to David about the relationship between our minds and the garden. Also on the programme, Cherry Townsend and Maurice Parkinson will be on hand to answer questions via the usual numbers or gardenerscorner@bbc.co.uk
