Pippa Hudson speaks to Cherise Viljoen of Cherish Plants about gardening challenges and tips. Cherise, with a Masters in Horticulture and decades of experience in nurseries and botanical gardens, answers listener questions on topics ranging from managing dassies in the garden, late-blooming hydrangeas, and African Violet flowering, to pest control including moles, ants, whitefly, and crickets. She also offers advice on planting, watering, and suitable plants for specific conditions. Call-ins and messages from listeners feature throughout.

Lunch with Pippa Hudson is CapeTalk’s mid-afternoon show. 

This 2-hour respite from hard news encourages the audience to take the time to explore, taste, read and reflect. The show - presented by former journalist, baker and water sports enthusiast Pippa Hudson - is unashamedly lifestyle driven. Popular features include a daily profile interview #OnTheCouch at 1:10pm. Consumer issues are in the spotlight every Wednesday while the team also unpacks all things related to health, wealth & the environment.
