So today, we’re addressing the overlooked. We’re giving mahonias a well-deserved second chance.

Gardening with the RHS ·

So, in today's show, we’re taking a holistic look at the weeds in our gardens – discussing what constitutes a weed, how to deal with them safely, and how we can see them as more than the enemy.
