Down House on the Gardeners’ World Podcast

In a wonderful new interview for the Gardeners’ World podcast, Down House Head Gardener Antony O’Rourke takes us behind the garden walls. Antony beautifully brings Darwin’s “living laboratory” to life, sharing how the grounds weren’t just a place of beauty, but the very engine of Darwin’s scientific breakthroughs.

From the “Thinking Path” to the experiments that changed the world, this conversation captures the true power of the place. Whether you’re a history buff or a green-thumbed gardener, this is a lovely listen that makes the past feel vividly present.
