And, we’re delving into plant names – and the system behind our classifications.    Presenter: Guy Barter Contributors: Andy Lewis, Jenny Laville, James Armitage Contact: podcasts@rhs.org.uk Links:   Apples and pears: winter gardening   The Newt in Somerset – an RHS Partner Garden   Allotments: getting started   RHS Practical Latin for Gardeners   Untangling Latin Names
