Arit Anderson takes a trip on a canal boat to find out how volunteers are bringing plants and wildlife back into the city of Birmingham, Mark Lane gives his guide on how to get the cottage style look into your garden, and Adam Frost takes a tour of Woburn Abbey to explore the restoration of its Humphrey Repton landscape.

The Beechgrove Garden episode 2 2018

In The Beechgrove Garden episode 2 2018, Jim and Carole celebrate Beechgrove's ruby anniversary in true Beechgrove style as it's tattie time. Both Jim and Carole are planting a range of ruby or red potatoes, and they also dig up an archive tattie tip from the late George Barron. Brian is back in Beechgrove revisiting his alpine garden and reviews the winter damage, as well as doing a bit of weeding and feeding.  Last year Carole met almost-nonagenarian garden hero Sandy Inkster in his immaculate and award-winning Cults garden. Carole will visit Sandy several times throughout the 2018 series but this time meets him on his allotment on the south side of Aberdeen. Chris is adding to the rose garden at Beechgrove. Roses and clematis are a classic combination but you do have to choose carefully, Chris explains, as they have to be able to be pruned at the same time.

Gardeners World episode 9 2016

As the growing season picks up a pace, Monty is sowing vegetables and planting out the scented plants which he brought back from the Malvern Spring Festival. Carol is delving into the hedgerows and rooting at the bases of walls, fences and trees as she begins her journey to investigate why plants thrive in challenging conditions, and we return to Sissinghurst to find out about the changes Troy Scott-Smith is making to the world-famous white garden. In Gardeners World episode 9 2016: Clematis Clematis is one of the most popular garden plants and no wonder; this plant can be grown on walls, pergolas, frames, in containers, or left to scramble through trees and shrubs. Containers: planting up Containers filled with seasonal or permanent plants are extremely versatile. They can brighten up a corner of the garden, provide handy herbs by the kitchen or make the entrance look welcoming. Yet, life in containers can be tough for plants, so choose the right compost and carry out regular maintena

The Beechgrove Garden episode 9 2015

The Beechgrove team will be taking a break from the garden to be at Gardening Scotland. Sometimes called the Chelsea of the north, it is certainly the biggest gardening show north of the border.

We will see those who are growing for gold, including those exhibits showing off their medals from last week's Chelsea Flower Show. The show gardens are an eclectic mix, from a homespun 'knitted garden' to literally a classic, the 'reader's imagination garden'. Beechgrove will be concentrating on the Scottish tale
