Episode 11

With summer just around the corner, Monty is bringing bold colour to the garden, planting gingers and cannas, setting out tomatoes and sowing wallflowers straight into the soil.

From her Devon garden, Carol Klein is exploring the latest plant science, uncovering what’s really going on inside a seed the moment it is sown – and how this pioneering knowledge can transform the way people garden. Rekha Mistry is also on a mission to grow big in a small space, using only pots on her patio.

In Oxfordshire, a garden designed for both beauty and biodiversity shows how plants can support wildlife as well as people. Also, a viewer in rural France shares a breathtaking, naturalistic plot that blends seamlessly with the surrounding landscape.
