Episode 133: Charles Darwin at Down House Part 1 - Outside looking in

Darren Weale and Sarah Marsh-Collings visit the former home of Charles Darwin in Bromley, Down House. 

This episode is recorded outside the home with Tessa Kilgariff, Collections Curator for South London for English Heritage, and Antony O'Rourke, Head Gardener.

The conversation ranges across their roles and backgrounds, an introduction to Charles Darwin and Down House, Darwin's wife, Emma, and the greenhouses, orchids,  carnivorous and sensitive plants.

Down House is open to the public.

This episode was preceded by a short trailer extract from the full interview with Antony - here - and episodes of the conversation indoors and in the gardens will follow.
