GQT at Home: Sunken Beds and Nostalgic Scents
Kathy Clugston hosts the horticultural programme featuring a group of gardening experts.
Kathy Clugston hosts the horticultural Q&A. Matthew Wilson, Chris Beardshaw and Bunny Guinness answer questions from the virtual audience on a variety of subjects, from how best to propagate a rose to salvaging a sunken bed.
Away from the questions, Jacquie Felix-Mitchell teaches you how to create your own secret garden from scratch, and Ashley Edwards advises on what to sow now.
