With summer approaching, Monty is changing things up and infusing some drama into his Jewel Garden pots. Arit Anderson meets a gardener in Suffolk championing the ‘grown not flown’ movement.

With summer fast approaching, Monty is changing things up and infusing some drama into his Jewel Garden pots. It’s out with the tulips and in with some bold, colourful bedding. He also dips his toe into the pond in an attempt to breathe new life into his waterlilies and gives his oranges and lemons their annual MOT.

Arit Anderson meets a determined cut-flower gardener in Suffolk who’s on a mission to champion the ‘grown not flown’ movement. And Rekha Mistry shows how to produce and cook with tasty veg throughout the year, creating a home-grown treat to prove it.

There’s an experienced wildlife cameraman who has swapped filming the African plains for staying at home after becoming captivated by the secret life of bees living in his back garden. And a highly successful Australian model explains why she swapped the catwalk for the compost heap and retrained in horticulture to become head gardener at a historic garden.
