Episode 1

Finally the gardening season has begun and it’s back to Longmeadow to join Monty, Nigel and Nellie for the first programme of the series. This week there’s advice on how to plant spring flowering perennials for instant impact and recommendations for planting bare root roses full of fragrance in borders and pots. Monty will also begin planning the vegetable garden for the year ahead. Carol Klein visits Norfolk and the stunning Winter garden at Bressingham where she celebrates the beauty of conifers and discovers their perfect planting partners. We find an inspirational and small garden in Kent bursting with colourful flowers and foliage, most of which are grown in pots.
