Wallingford
This week's GQT comes from Wallingford, Oxfordshire.
How can I tidy up unruly forget-me-nots? What do I need to be aware of when gardening up north? What鈥檚 been munching the leaves of my plum tree?
The sprightly GQT team are back to share all their green-fingered guidance from Wallingford, Oxfordshire. Ready to get rid of all our weed-induced woes are plant pathologist Pippa Greenwood, garden designer Chris Beardshaw, and Head of Science at the Oxford University Botanic Garden Dr Chris Thorogood.
Alongside the panel鈥檚 horticultural advice, GQT producer Dan Cocker heads to Kew Gardens to meet garden curator Joe Richomme for a masterclass on peonies.
