Marina Hyde on Gardens, Gossip and Politics

What do two brilliant journalists know about gardening, and what can one of the UK's best-loved garden designers teach them? Quite a lot, as it turns out… although the conversation doesn't stay among the flowerbeds for long.

Marina may not have the garden of her dreams just yet, but it’s very much in her future. She’s enlisted renowned garden designer Jo Thompson to help transform the outdoor space at her London home into the perfect escape.

Not that Marina has much time for escaping. Alongside her hugely popular podcast The Rest Is Entertainment, co-hosted with Richard Osman, she’s just launched her latest venture, Always On, a place to read her thoughts on pretty much everything.

And when she’s not writing or podcasting, Marina enjoys some of life’s other pleasures: a good dinner out, for instance, and keeping an eye on Keir Starmer, who, it would seem, hasn’t been getting the best tables in restaurants lately.

So whether it’s gardens, gossip or politics, there’s plenty to get stuck into.
