Episode 1
The gardening programme returns with Monty Don back at the helm, this time in the garden at his Herefordshire home of 20 years. With winter receding, the team prepare for spring.
Gardeners' World returns with Monty Don back at the helm, but this time in the garden at his own Herefordshire home - a place that he has lovingly nurtured for the last 20 years. With winter receding, Monty, Carol Klein, Joe Swift and Rachel de Thame are preparing for spring.
As well as showing us round his garden, Monty lifts and divides snowdrops. He also gets his vegetable garden started by sowing beetroot and planting onions.
It is also the perfect time, before the burst of spring growth, to prune his apple trees and give his shrub roses a much needed trim.
Carol Klein visits one of Britain's most inspirational winter gardens, Anglesey Abbey, and discovers that even in the darkest winter months gardens can still delight the senses with colour, fragrance and architectural beauty. From gorgeous willows and cornus to Tibetan cherry trees, Carol revels in the beautiful, vibrant and imaginative planting.
Joe Swift and Rachel de Thame are in Dorset offering advice and a helping hand to a plucky gardener who, although it is officially still winter, is about to open her garden to the public under the National Gardens Scheme.
