Ep. 71 - With Christmas around the corner, the garden can be a great source of decoration for the house, so Saul talks to Lucy about the Wreathes and Swags she creates at East Donyland Hall.

2020 has been an unusual and difficult year for many, and we understand that the full repercussions of what we have all been through are still to be felt - but with summer now distant and the glory of autumn in full flow, we continue with a healthy amount of discussion on some of our favourite horticultural topics, bringing a little dose of the garden to your daily lives.

As 2020 draws towards the festivities of Christmas, the garden becomes a great source of decoration for the house - holly, conifers, pine-cones and dried fruits abound can be used to make beautiful traditional wreathes and  swags for the front door, balustrades and mantelpiece. Saul has a good chat to Lucy who creates all her estates decorations every year and she describes how she does it and how much joy it brings her at this time of year.
