Grounded is an exploration of the magic of garden design, our aim is to explore the influences that shape the vision and career of stand out garden designers. In each episode our host, Steve Byrne, hears the stories behind three inspirational gardens that have shaped our guest’s life. Firstly a garden from their childhood, secondly their favorite commission and thirdly their a much admired garden designed by a peer.
We hope by looking through a personal and emotional lens, the podcast offers something quite different to other garden design content. We’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback as the series progresses.
