Yours For The Making Podcast with Robin Johnson
In this episode of Yours for the Making, Guy shares how his 32-acre nursery home grows plants, using propagation, grafting and container growing to produce hardy, long-lasting trees and shrubs. He explains why the business invests heavily in apprenticeships, creative maintenance and garden design.
The conversation also dives into Guy’s personal story, from rowing across the Indian Ocean to earning his pilot’s licence, and how extreme challenges shaped his leadership and resilience. We also talked about unusual projects like helicopter-delivered trees, solar-powered plant labs and why vocational training is key to the future of horticulture.
Perfect for gardeners, landscapers, horticulture students, sustainability professionals and anyone fascinated by the business of plants and the culture of making.

“Joining the Very Rev Dr Edward Dowler and guests was a privilege. The Festival of Flowers is as much about beauty as it is about legacy. Just as one act of belief and investment helped me row the Indian Ocean and later create opportunities for young people, every act of sponsorship at the Cathedral will leave a lasting mark. I was thrilled to share that message in such an inspiring setting, and I hope many more will join us in supporting this special event.
What struck me most about the evening was the sense of community within the Cathedral. My speech was about resilience, belief and the power of nature’s embrace, and it was moving to see those ideas resonate with guests. Sponsoring an arrangement will support young people, strengthen the legacy of the Cathedral for the next 900 years, and create something beautiful that uplifts us all.” – Guy Watts
