Episode 7

It's the busiest gardening weekend of the year and in a special hour-long programme for Easter there's plenty of inspiration to get our gardens kick started for the year ahead.

At Longmeadow, Monty gets going on planting climbing roses for different aspects in his walled garden. From clematis and roses for full sun to plants for more shady places, we get his top recommendations for an east-facing wall, along with techniques for planting success.

Continuing the theme of garden boundaries, this week Carol Klein is in her own garden at Glebe cottage. She gets inspiration from the nearby Devon hedgerows to discover the kind of plants which thrive there and then uses some of their cultivated cousins to transform an unpromising area of her garden in the shadow of a fence.

Rachel de Thame heads to Cumbria where she finds out how one particular gardener has spent his life travelling the world to find inspiration for plants that would thrive in his own mountainside garden. At the Eden project in Cornwall they have challenges of their own in the tropical biome which involve pruning at 50 metres from a helium balloon.

Back at Longmeadow, as well as catching up with jobs on the veg plot and in the greenhouse, Monty begins the long and timely task of replanting his jewel garden with perennials in readiness for a bedazzling, gem-like display this summer.
