It’s officially spring! The clocks go forward an hour this weekend and there’s more time for gardening in the longer days ahead. Monty’s busy adding herbaceous perennials to the revamped Jewel Garden – but before planting, he has good advice on how to plan a border. In the veg garden, there are broad beans to sow and after a wet and cold winter, the lawn needs a bit of attention to get it summer-ready. \n\nNick Bailey visits a gardener in Essex to demystify the art of matrix planting. Frances Tophill heads to a garden in Bradford, the 2025 UK City of Culture, to meet a group of gardeners working together to grow fresh fruit and veg for the local community.\n\nWe meet a grower in Dorset who is totally dedicated to dahlias. And a gardener in Cambridgeshire who’s transformed the back garden of his semi-detached home by planting an incredible 35 trees.
