Episode 15

It’s midsummer’s day and Monty revels in the roses in his garden, harvests honey from his bees and gives advice on the maintenance of hardy geraniums, as well as planting others for summer groundcover.

Rachel de Thame shows how the most ordinary of spaces can be transformed by adding seasonal containers; Joe Swift heads to Cornwall to meet musician and actor Will Young, who reveals his love of gardening; and Frances Tophill visits an allotment in Oxfordshire to meet a gardener who is growing her crops alongside plants attractive to pollinating insects and other wildlife.

Plus, we meet a garden historian who has incorporated elements of period gardens into her own town garden.
