Episode 31

At Longmeadow, Monty is full steam ahead creating a new woodland garden from scratch. He plants up some native grasses and adds in hellebores for a colourful spring display. He also prunes a climbing rose, harvests some veg and pots up hyacinth bulbs.

Adam Frost celebrates the drama, versatility and reliability of ornamental grasses. And Ashley Edwards discovers how the Royal Horticultural Society Garden at Hyde Hall, Essex, is experimenting with growing plants that thrive in hot, dry climates.

There's a garden designer who has filled his own space with bright, bold and beautiful plants, and an acer aficionado who has 70 different varieties in her Buckinghamshire garden.
