On this weeks programme, Andy visits the first NGS garden in Kent open for 2012. It contains a collection of over 300 snowdrops and is the home of galanthophile Carolyn Millen.

East Malling Research are running a number of courses for amateur gardeners. We hear about the latest on winter pruning.

And the story of the tree, long regarded as a weed in Cuba that could be used in everything from making batteries to water and gas purification to sewage treatment.
