HortWeek is delighted to present the Cultivate Your Future podcast, in partnership with the Colegrave Seabrook Foundation and sponsors MorePeople.
This episode was recorded on location at Ball trials where the great and the good from the horticulture industry gathered to celebrate 30 years of the Colegrave Foundation. In this episode Neville Stein talks to seasoned professionals as well as recent recipients of a bursary from the foundation including Neil Grant, Bruce Harnett, Piers Lavan, Alice Cook, Ian Hazon, Holly Sturgess and Phil Swainston. He discusses the sense of community that makes the industry such a great one to work in.
Alan Titchmarsh introduces the podcast and reflects on his 60 year journey from an Ilkley council parks apprenticeship aged 15 to working on Nelson Mandela's garden, teaching at Kew and meeting the Queen several times, saying at "every turn I have benefitted from the support and friendship of the horticulture community. There's always someone who knows a bit more than you. Every day is a school day."
