We visit Dr Margaret Stone's national collection of asters in Worcester with Rachel de Thame, and have a good wonder around her beautiful garden at Brockamin. Tashi Dhondup in Stroud gives us a tour of his stunning garden and shows us his collection of meconopsis before Eric in Normandy France shows us his garden where he uses the no-dig method. Jilly McNaughton gives us a masterclass on building successful wildlife ponds and shows us her two at Sheepcote Green House in Saffron Waldon, Essex where she has numerous aquatic plants and a family or two of great crested newts. Finally Adam takes us to the stunning Peckover House and Gardens in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, where we meet Louise Gardner, the head gardener and understand how they're recreating the gardens from old photos and paintings by George Samuel Elgood.
