Private Passions

Available for 27 days

Chris Beardshaw is a garden and landscape designer who has won 15 Gold Medals from the Royal Horticultural Society, and has enjoyed great success at the Chelsea Flower Show. He was first given some seeds at the age of four, and - under the 'no nonsense' eye of his grandmother - soon became fascinated by growing things. He鈥檚 written several books, including 100 Plants That Almost Changed the World, and he鈥檚 shared his knowledge on everything from his favourite 'bombproof' plants to dealing with slugs as a regular panellist on Radio 4鈥檚 Gardener鈥檚 Question Time for more than 25 years. Chris's choices include music by Rodrigo, Max Richter, Karl Jenkins and Elgar.
