With the cost-of-living crisis still very much with us, horticulturist Nick Hamilton feels lucky that his late father, the legendary broadcaster and Gardeners’ World presenter Geoff Hamilton, passed on some useful tips for the practical gardener.
“The biggest tip my dad ever gave me was never to stick to the obvious and, whenever possible, to always think outside the box,” says Nick, who has run Barnsdale Gardens (barnsdalegardens.co.uk) in Rutland since his father’s death in 1996 and is author of The Right Genes (2QT Limited, £14.99), in which he charts growing up with his famous gardening dad.
