In the first of four special programmes celebrating the joy that the gardening year brings, Monty harvests his favourite winter veg, demonstrates how to take hardwood cuttings and plants up a container with tulips for a display of spring colour.
Joe Swift meets TV presenter AJ Odudu and discovers her passion for house plants, Carol Klein visits RHS Rosemoor in Devon, a garden with enough colour and texture to brighten even the darkest of winter days, and Sue Kent and Toby Buckland take an inspirational trip to Piet Oudolf’s garden at Hauser & Wirth in Somerset.
The head gardener at West Dean Gardens in West Sussex shares his tips on growing ranunculus, and there’s a look at an incredible collection of bamboo at Trebah Garden in Cornwall. There’s also a chance to see what viewers have been getting up to in their gardens.

This is a lovely treat
At least something for the depressing winter months
A lovely and much needed garden fix. 🙂 Thank you R.A. Javier.
Great episode, so pleased to see a winter series. Bring on the diaramas , in pots
Thoroughly enjoyed it. The section on houseplants was appropriate for winter.
Thank you for this.
