Gardeners' World - Season 53 - Episode 1
It is the first day of spring and Monty has sharpened his tools in readiness to open the gardening year, accompanied, of course, by Nigel and Nellie, in the first episode of the series. Monty reflects on how Longmeadow has fared during an extraordinarily wet winter and gets going on a few essential tasks to get the garden into gear for the seasons to come. With the popularity of houseplants gaining huge momentum, Frances Tophill visits RHS Wisley to find out how to look after the myriad types of indoor plants now available to gardeners. For more container inspiration, the episode introduces an enthusiast who has a passion for plants in pots and curates a display of over one thousand in her Somerset garden.
