Gardeners' Question Time

Available for over a year

Do plants have feelings? When should I plant green manure? Why do leaves drop more in autumn than any other time of the year?

On the panel this week are ethnobotanist James Wong, proud plantsman Matthew Biggs and garden designer Juliet Sargeant. Later, James Wong and Birmingham Botanical Gardens' Senior Nursery Horticulturist Bethan Collerton discuss some useful tips and tricks on how to protect your tender or less hardy plants during the winter months.
