Episode 13
On the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings, the show visits a WWII veteran who has planted an orchard for peace to commemorate those who lost their lives during the war.
At Longmeadow this week Monty turns his attention to the tender annuals he has grown from seed, including climbers and sunflowers and plants out beans for a bountiful summer harvest. Nick Bailey celebrates the rhododendron, one of our most colourful spring flowering shrubs and, on the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings, we meet a WWII veteran who has planted an orchard for peace to commemorate those who lost their lives during the war.
Also in tonight’s programme Carol Klein, Frances Tophill and Joe Swift travel to Derbyshire to bring us the floral highlights from the RHS Chatsworth Flower Show.
