The tale of atomic seeds captures the paradox of the United States in the 1950s and 1960s. It was both a marketing gimmick and a genuine scientific endeavour.

It bridged the lab and the lawn, the scientist and the housewife, the promise of a better tomato and the hope of a better world. All to chat with Diarmuid Gavin, award winning Garden Designer.
