Gardeners' World 2024🍀Episode 27

Frances Tophill is back at Powderham Castle in Devon. As well as planting up a new herb bed, identifying and collecting seedlings, dividing perennial plants and making a comfrey liquid feed, she explains how to help tackle the decline of butterflies and pollinators in gardens.

Carol Klein visits a garden brimming with late summer colour, and Joe Swift meets a young couple who’ve transformed their urban space into a lush green oasis.

There's a visit to an extraordinary haven of peace for people recovering from life-changing surgery, and there's a mother-and-daughter team who create houseplant displays with a difference.

The mother and daughter plant ladies reminds me of my mom and I. We live next door to each other and are plant addicts. It really is fun sharing with each other and helping out as needed. We just went through hurricane Helene and I woke up yesterday to a huge branch on one of my patios. It did break a few of my foliage plants but they will be pruned and potted up to live on!

I can't believe you consider French Tarragon tender. Here in South Central Alaska we grow it as a hardy perennial! Tastes great. Dries well for winter. I love the smell. I'm finally down to the one large clumps in a raised bed next to a 20 yr old French Sorrel.

Where are the big cordylines in Sakira and Andrew's garden? No doubt sacrificed because they were unaware of the time it took them to become so majestic! What a massacre! Ok for the conifers, but for these cordylines, it's the same thing as wild deforestation in Brazil! 😢 😢 😢
