A Touch of Sunlight is a podcast that is a happy place where we talk about the positive mental and physical health benefits of gardening as well as their importance to wildlife and the environment. Beginners are especially welcome.

Today I am chatting with Ben Cross of Crosslands Flower Nursery specialist of British Alstroemeria. In this episode you will hear

* why you must always hand-pick an Alstroemeria bloom!

* how Crosslands Flower Nursery strives to be as sustainable and environmentally friendly as possible

* the massive difference between UK grown flowers and imported flowers which are covered in chemicals

* what the British Flowers Rock Campaign is and how you can help
