Monty advises on how to protect tender plants over the coming months. Adam Frost learns about the work of a Children in Need project for disadvantaged and vulnerable children.

As October progresses and nights become colder, Monty advises on what plants need protection and how to protect tender plants over the coming months. He also plants tulips and wallflowers for late spring colour.

Carol Klein celebrates ornamental grasses as her plant of the month, Adam Frost travels to Peterborough to find out about the work of a Children in Need project for disadvantaged and vulnerable children and Nick Bailey gives a step-by-step guide on how to build a cold-frame for a budget price. We visit Mark Diacono in Devon, who shows us how to grow our own szechuan pepper, and we go to Surrey to talk to an enthusiast who grows thousands of South African succulents in his back garden in Surrey.

Glorious grasses

Glorious grasses

Ornamental grasses can really add an extra layer of interest to a border in autumn, especially when combined with late-flowering perennials. The garden at Hauser & Wirth in Somerset is a classic case in point and it is here that Carol sought inspiration for her plant of the month. If you’re in the area and fancy a day out, it’s well worth a visit.
