‘Gardens meet you, wherever you are’ Lauren Laverne is no stranger
to Caitlin Moran’s garden. The pair are the closest of friends
stretching back to big 90s nights out in clubs, followed by a
lifetime of chatting and discussing their favourite trees. The
legendary broadcaster can do it all. She presents on BBC Radio 6
Music every weekday from 10-1, hosts BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island
Discs and regularly leads the BBC’s coverage of Glastonbury.
Lauren, who was born in Sunderland, started out in the music
industry as the lead singer in Kenickie, before making the move to
broadcasting. She comes with equally strong credentials in the
natural world too, having founded her own worm club as a child so
has much to discuss with Adam & Caitlin. Lauren loves trees,
parks, napping outside and is our first guest to have a hammock.
She recalls her favourite outside memories, and pays tribute to her
own garden, which has provided a place to recover and provide
perspective after treatment for cancer. We hear about a
tarantula on a lead, the joy of rain on a car bonnet and Adam finds
the perfect plant to give to Lauren... and Caitlin. You can also
hear Lauren on BBC Radio 6 Music’s Indie Forever station with her
Indie Focus mix. Let us know if you’re enjoying
