With bonfire night in mind, Monty Don turns his attention to the firecracker colours of spring when he begins to tidy up his herbaceous plants to make room to plant tulip bulbs. As well as recommending varieties for an early display he also shows what to plant now under the shade of trees for colour next year.
A gardener in Essex, who fills her beds and borders with over 9000 tulips which are all carefully colour coordinated, talks about her favourite combinations. Colour is also on Rachel de Thame's agenda when she travels to Suffolk to look at some of the best small trees and shrubs for autumn colour in the gardens at East Bergholt Place, drawing inspiration from owner and plantsman Rupert Eley. Plus, Carol Klein is at the Royal Horticultural Society's garden at Rosemoor in Devon where they grow a collection of one of Britain's most iconic winter plants, holly.
