In this episode I take a look at the Eden Project – one of my favourite gardens to visit and a real horticultural wonder of the world. The Eden Project focuses on edible and useful plants, and so it’s a great place for an Alternative Kitchen Garden to visit to pick up ideas and see unusual plants growing. It’s also perfect for an environmentally friendly day out.

Even if you can’t get to the Eden Project now, it might be a place you’d like to support. You can shop online at the Eden Shop or become an Eden Friend.

I also unveil the winner of the Permaculture competition, have a quick look at the new River Cottage Land Share scheme, and invite you to send in your letters to Santa if you’re hoping for gardening goodies this Christmas.
