We are back with Monty at Longmeadow this week, where he catches up with all his summer jobs in the border and the vegetable garden. Carol Klein gets inspiration for planting combinations when she explores the garden rooms at Cothay Manor and Gardens in Somerset, and Arit Anderson goes to RHS Wisley to find out about their research into the variety and function of the different slugs and snails found in our gardens. We celebrate an iconic summer flower when we travel to Staffordshire to meet a family who specialise in growing a huge variety of sweet peas, and in Kent, we meet a gardener who fills an abundance of pots with seasonal and vibrant colour.
