We chatted about the strong turn out; his views on the takeover; the Garden being a Community resource for the Isle of Wight; touched on charging for entrance; some of the extraordinary Conservation work they’ve been doing at the Garden; the land they own over the Undercliff Road and how it might be used by school children.
Have a listen to get the full detail.
