Episode Description from the Publisher

The Royal Horticultural Society has lifted its traditional ban on garden gnomes at the Chelsea Flower Show for only the second time in nearly 100 years. King Charles, Sir David Beckham and Brian May have painted their own gnomes to be auctioned for charity. The society typically considers gnomes 'tacky' and only previously lifted the ban in 2013 to celebrate the show's centenary.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
