Gardening stories with Diarmuid Gavin: The life of William Robinson
It’s rare to find someone who changes the course of a field entirely. But every so often, a person comes along with such clarity of vision, and such a loud voice, that everything shifts. In the world of gardens, that person was William Robinson, the Irish gardener who told Britain to stop pruning, potting, clipping and controlling, and to start letting nature in.
Diarmuid Gavin brings us the story of William Robinson.
