Gardeners' World - 2009/2010 - Episode 9

It's time to start the weekend early, and escape to the garden with Toby and the team, with an hour packed full of gardening tips as we revisit many of the exciting new garden areas and ambitious projects at Greenacre. If big dramatic grasses and glorious tall perennials are your thing, then this episode is a must as Toby begins to plant up a border with a range of bold and brilliant ornamental grasses and tough floriferous prairie plants. We revisit the new tropical border to add more exotic plants, and also finish the cool and sophisticated silver and white planting in the twilight garden. Alys and Joe continue with their modern front garden designs and in the city vegetable garden, get the raised beds packed to the rafters with home grown plants. Carol is revelling in her In Bloom moment, from glorious Glebe Cottage in Devon, and continues to teach her three keen amateur gardeners the art of pruning, propagating and planting. As spring turns into summer, we look at ways that time-poor gardeners can keep on top of all the weeding and watering with a mulching masterclass! With the 30-Minute Fix weekend project, and some hot topical debate in the potting shed, Gardeners' World is definitely the place to wind down into your weekend.
