## Resource

Welcome to White Wine Question Time, where on Tuesdays we dust off some of our very best episodes from the cellar. As it’s the first day of the Chelsea Flower Show, we’re revisiting my conversation from 2023 with horticulturist, broadcaster, and writer Monty Don. We'll hear about how he flunked out of school, lost everything after the collapse of his jewellery business, before finally becoming one of the country's best-loved gardeners. Make sure you subscribe so you don't miss our new episodes every Thursday, bonus episodes of Weekend White Wine Question Time every Saturday, and the very best from our archive. Cheers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
