In the last 20 months, controlling diseases or viruses has been dominating the news, but what if we told you, there's a whole other side to disease or pest control that we rarely hear about, & that's plant disease.
This week on Into The Foliage, Jan & I are super lucky to have a chat with the UK Chief Plant Health Advisor for the UK, Nicola Spence. Nicola opened the door to show us just how much work goes on to keep our native species & our garden plants safe from disease & pests. As Jan & I say on this show, we will never say we are busy again after talking with Nicola!
If you'd like to keep up to date with Nicola then you can follow her on Twitter @plantchief
