Show Notes

Dean Charlton was on Gardeners' World Episode 17 when he was preparing for his exhibit at the first ever RHS Wentworth Woodhouse. In this final episode of series 3 of Chit-Chats, we find out about the history of Hooton's Walled Nursery, Dean's as yet unpatented drystone skip walls, his very happy memories of 6 years at Great Dixter and some of the skills he learned there, power scything, wassails, Morris Dancing, and his Bavarian friend's Guess the Organ Soup.
