Episode 27

It is a full hour of gardening from Longmeadow and Monty adds autumn perennials to his borders, shows how to take root cuttings and has plans for next year when he plants bulbs for spring colour.

On her Kent allotment, Frances Tophill catches up on some seasonal sowing and invites a special guest to help her with a small building project. Nick Bailey is in Cambridge University Botanic Garden, where we find out how and why some plants produce their scent at the end of the day and we return to the wildlife garden of Kate Bradbury to find out about the lives of solitary bees.

In Dorset, we meet a gardener who has dug up his front lawn to accommodate the flowers and vegetables he loves to grow for the garden and the show bench.
