Monty has plenty of ideas to make the most of the season - from creating new plants for free by dividing herbaceous perennials to planning a dazzling spring display by sowing iris bulbs. He’s also planting elephant garlic for next year’s kitchen and Asian greens to keep his salads fresh all winter long.\n\nCarol Klein reveals some new seasonal planting combinations to keep gardens bursting with colour, even in the coldest months. Meanwhile, Joe Swift visits an inspiring Bristol project that’s transforming lives through gardening - a space where people and plants grow together.\n\nPlus a passionate gardener growing flowers that he thinks are the drag queens of his borders, and a bold garden experiment tackling the challenges of climate change head-on.
