For today’s episode, Patrick heads to rural Norfolk to meet Alfie Nickerson, a biodynamic gardener who is certainly no stranger to vivid colour. Alfie founded Burnt Fen Flowers farm in 2019 and traded his fast-paced London life for growing and arranging joyful, seasonal blooms.

Surrounded by a kaleidoscope of dahlias, together they explore the story of Alfie’s unexpected venture and the sense of purpose he’s found in the countryside. From childhood exploits to the seasonality of colour, their conversation is brimming with Alfie’s profound love for the great outdoors.
