Yuletide Growers: Mistletoe, Poinsettia and Kentish Walnuts

Sarah Swadling visits a farmer in Worcestershire who has built an online business around Mistletoe, a grower who tends 100,000 Poinsettia every year, and a man who is hoping to revive English Walnut production in Kent. Produced and presented by Sarah Swadling.
