HortWeek is launching a new stream of podcasts where we give the HortWeek take on the biggest news stories.

Drawing on the immense industry expertise of editor Matthew Appleby, technical editor Sally Drury and senior reporter Rachael Forsyth the podcast will give listeners a digested and analytical view with added perspective and insight.

Stories tackled this week:

• the admission by the RHS that it expects to lose sales as a result of banning peat in its gardens and retail outlets by the end of 2025.
• 
  
• the story behind Sarah Raven Kitchen & Garden which went into administration, was bought back by Raven but which now is looking to make redundancies
• 
  
• why hosepipe bans are bad for garden retailers

Do check out our huge archive of HortWeek Podcast interviews with an unrivalled selection of prominent and fascinating figures from all corners of the horticulture sector.
