Lilah Raptopoulos
This is Life and Art from FT Weekend. I’m Lilah Raptopoulos. We’re here today to talk about plants and gardening in the winter. You’ve probably noticed that it’s only gotten trendier over the years to have plants in your home. I’ve definitely noticed that. But the Financial Times’s gardening columnist Robin Lane Fox has always known that plants are cool. He’s been writing this column for 53 years. Robin is also an esteemed professor of classical history at Oxford university. That means he lives in Oxford so his speciality is the UK climate. But don’t worry, we’re going to talk about gardening all around the world, too.
