The Queen of Shops meets the King of Gardens Mary Portas is a
broadcaster, writer and retail consultant, who revolutionised
shopping in the 90s with her bold approach to retail and many
iconic window displays. She’s in our garden to talk about her new
book; I Shop, Therefore I am: The ‘90s, Harvey Nicks and Me, which
is out now. Mary spends time between London and her home in
the Cotswolds, where she’s often seen taking a trip up the steep
slopes of Swift’s Hill. She adores ferns, is fanatical about roses,
kisses moss, hugs trees and shares a terrific story about the
irises from her very first front garden. With such retail
expertise at our disposal, Adam and Mary chat about what garden
centres are doing right, and where they can make gains, while
Caitlin gets the detail on some of Mary’s most memorable ‘90s
moments, including payback for a sexist photographer. As for
the naked badger watching... it’ll only make sense right at the
end. Let us know if you’re enjoying Outsiding and please send
