Episode overview

A catch-up with three sisters in Dorset to discover how their fallen down greenhouse turned into an opportunity to transform part of their garden. Monty plants garlic and onions, adds camassias to his Bog Garden and plants bulbs in pots for spring. He also transplants foxgloves and tidies up his strawberry bed for winter. Joe Swift visits a gravel garden in Kent, where the gardener has used plants which can withstand very little watering whilst maintaining colour and texture all year round. Tom Brown travels to RHS Garden Bridgewater in Salford to see their plant trials and explores the criteria as to how plants gain an award of garden merit. There's a look at the benefits of permaculture to both people, and wildlife, in a kitchen garden in Hertfordshire, and more films sent in by viewers.
