" At Longmeadow, Monty gives a masterclass on the summer pruning of fruit and advice on maintaining ponds, and plants up a pot to give colour and interest to last into the autumn months.
Adam Frost travels to Brodsworth Hall in South Yorkshire to meet a head gardener who has been set the challenge of restoring the gardens to their 19th-century glory. We meet a young couple at a nursery in Devon to find out about the plants that thrive around water, and in Essex we visit a gardener who loves vibrant colours and changes her plants to suit the season.

Loved the bit with AF visiting Brodsworth Hall, that's my type of gardening and style. Loved the gardens. I do like formality and neat straight lines. I think I was born in the wrong century.
I was just the same, l love that style of gardening even though it's considered old fashioned. That is definitely on our list to visit, whenever that may be.
Just watching it now...wonder where does the tulip woman find all the money to buy all those tulips every year. Madness to plant them from scratch every year. And all that height looked so overwhelming.
" Monty gets going on a new planting project, gives advice on planting for east- and west-facing borders, starts reaping summer vegetables and sows seeds for autumn harvests.
Sue Kent finds inspiration for her own garden when she explores the glorious Aberglasney Gardens in Wales, while Nick Bailey travels to Scotland to investigate a disease affecting trees and shrubs in both woodlands and gardens.
We meet a gardener in Kent who fills every space in her garden with the different textures, colours and shapes of foliage, and we visit a school in West Yorkshire where their garden has been planted for the benefit of wildlife and bees."
For the first time, I noticed, for the first time, that Sue Kent's name appeared amongst those of the presenters; so, I imagine we are going to see much more of her.
