2026: Episode 23



As a summer marked by record-breaking heat and prolonged drought comes to a close, Monty reflects how it has tested gardeners across the country. From parched borders to sun-scorched lawns, he looks at the impact of low or no rainfall and offers some solutions for the plants worst hit. Yet amid the challenges, there is reason for optimism. As the gardening year turns towards autumn, he gathers seed, takes cuttings and prepares the ground for seasons to come, proving that gardening is always an act of hope.\n\nJoe Swift visits a family-run nursery in Dorset that is putting the ‘herb’ back into herbaceous borders. Rekha Mistry shares the results of her container challenge, with a harvest of dwarf fruit and vegetables grown solely in pots on her sun-baked patio.\n\nIn Essex, a passionate grower showcases his remarkable collection of agaves, whilst in Cumbria, a young couple share their top tips for creating a vibrant, colourful garden packed with personality, practical ideas and planting flair.
