Farming Today This Week: Flowers
Charlotte Smith visits Blenheim Palace Flower Show. She speaks to growers and exhibitors to find out how the British flower industry is faring.
Farming Today This Week takes a look at the British flower and plant industry. Currently the vast majority of cut flowers bought in the UK are imported - but could this be the moment for domestic producers to change that? Charlotte Smith speaks to growers and exhibitors at the Blenheim Palace Flower Show about their challenges and achievements. We also hear how one supermarket is trying to support British cut flowers, and how changes in land use can give wildflowers and helping hand.
Presented by Charlotte Smith. Produced by Heather Simons.
