Today we welcome Arthur Parkinson onto the R2Kast! 🎙️ Arthur is a passionate gardener, illustrator, writer, and poultry enthusiast who brings creativity and honesty to rural life. With five published books—including one on rare-breed chickens—and a loyal Instagram following, Arthur’s story is one of beauty, care, and bold expression. 🌸

We dive into his experiences at the Chelsea Flower Show, both as a worker and now as an invited guest. From luxury press days to the reality of garden building, Arthur’s insight into the evolving educational potential of Chelsea is refreshing and reflective. 🌼🛠️

A true advocate for authenticity, Arthur shares his journey through floristry, content creation, and calling out injustices in large-scale animal systems. He blends art, advocacy, and agriculture in a way that invites all to engage. 🐓✍️

Arthur’s honesty and humility shine throughout, reminding us that there’s strength in vulnerability, and that growing, drawing, and sharing rural life can be deeply powerful. A tender, artistic episode you won’t forget! ❤️🌿

Enjoy! 😊

Thank you to Howden Rural for the continued support.
