In this week's episode of the Mike the Gardener - Gardening Podcast, I return to Kingston Maurward, horticultural college, where I learnt my trade many, many years ago.

Nigel Hewish, the Head Gardener there, is responsible for the national collection of salvias held within the grounds of the college. What Nigel doesn't know about salvias frankly, isn't worth knowing.

In this informative episode, we chat about:

Where salvias originate from
How to grow them
How to propagate them
How to get the very best from them
Planting companions
Pests and diseases, and much more

My thanks to Nigel for taking time to come and talk to us today.

If you want to know more about me and my own garden, you can follow me on my Instagram account, mike_the gardener.

Thanks for listening and see you next week.
