At Longmeadow, Monty Don adds a variety of herbs that thrive in shade to the herb garden and adds summer annuals to the cottage garden. Nick Bailey has taken a rare opportunity to design his town garden from scratch and gives tips on how to plan and lay out a path, while Carol Klein celebrates the hardy geranium and the abundance of varieties that give masses of colour to the summer garden. Plus, the programme finds a Wolverhampton couple who have created a garden full of mystery and imagination.

Monty Don gives tips on growing tomatoes and has ideas of how to fill gaps in the garden once the flowers of spring are over. Joe Swift visits the small city garden of an interior designer where some unusual plants have been used to add an element of surprise to the outdoor space, while in Kent Arit Anderson meets a community whose members have all been prescribed gardening as part of their recovery from physical and mental illness.
