Episode notes

Mr's P. looks at the history of gardening and how everything is political. From tulips in the Ottoman Empire, to English cottages, American war gardens to the lawns of French aristocracy. Mrs. P looks at how gardening practices can topple empires, start wars, end wars and create an extraordinary amount of waste.
