Gardener's World 2023-24 Winter Specials E01 & E02


E01
Monty has advice on how to pot up one of the stars of the festive season - amaryllis.
Carol Klein surrounds herself with colour and scent in Kent as she champions one of winter’s most spectacular shrubs – witch hazel. In South Yorkshire, Arit Anderson visits Professor Nigel Dunnett to find out how the man responsible for transforming many public green spaces tends his own garden. Toby Buckland joins Sue Kent on her allotment in Swansea to share tips on how to prepare for the growing season ahead. There's also a couple in Cornwall whose allotment is the ultimate ‘secret garden’, perched on the side of a cliff, and a gardener in Herefordshire who preserves the spirit of summer throughout the darkest days of winter by pressing flowers.

E02
Adam Frost visits Mary Berry at home to hear about another of her great passions in life, gardening. Mary shares her love of cut flowers and some tips on freezing herbs, while Adam shows her how to sow the tiniest of snapdragon seeds with a cocktail stick - something Mary has an abundance of. Meanwhile, Rachel de Thame visits a ‘cut your own flower' field in Dorset; Frances Tophill joins garden designer Tom Massey to look at the ways urban greening projects can breathe new life into our towns and cities; Nick Bailey visits a garden near Dorchester bursting with more than 350 different rose varieties; and there's some home-grown produce on the menu as Joe Swift visits the kitchen gardeners at Le Manoir Hotel in Oxfordshire.
