It’s full steam ahead at Longmeadow for Monty, who is busy getting the garden ‘summer ready’. He’s planning displays bursting with colour and scent, sharing tips for rejuvenating houseplants and planting new and tasty soft fruit.\n\nAdam Frost is in the Lake District, bathing in the dazzling spectacle of azaleas, rhododendrons and a striking collection of meconopsis – the blue Himalayan poppy – in a garden run solely by volunteers.\n\nIn a bid to learn more about successfully growing fruit and vegetables in her garden in the Peak District, Rekha Mistry visits a local kindred spirit to compare notes on tried-and-tested fruits and vegetables to sow, grow, and eat.\n\nWe meet Colin, who has dedicated his entire life to growing and perfecting his beloved delphinium collection. And there’s a whistle-stop tour of Bedminster in Bristol to discover the secret gardens thrown open to locals just once a year.
