Episode 12

Monty is busy in the cottage garden. As the roses begin to bloom, he’s inserting a colourful splash of underplanting to add floral icing to the upcoming display. And in the veg garden, there are carrots to thin and tomatoes to plant out.

Adam Frost goes to a beautiful walled garden in Essex, brought back to life thanks to the tireless devotion of one woman. And Nick Bailey explains why his headline show garden for 2025’s Gardeners’ World Live is all about making a metre matter. His aim is to inspire everyone to transform even the smallest outdoor space for the good of the planet.

There’s a man whose sheer determination has turned a barren new-build plot into a wonderful haven for plants and wildlife. Plus a passionate horticulturist who loves peonies so much she rented a whole field to grow them.
