Monty assesses the progress of his paradise garden at Longmeadow, while in Glasgow Frances meets a gardener whose hands-off approach to his garden has reaped rewards for wildlife

Monty assesses the progress, successes and failures of his paradise garden, the new area of Longmeadow that he planted at the beginning of the year. He also makes a start on sowing a meadow of wildflowers in the orchard and gives advice on what to plant now in the vegetable garden.

Frances Tophill travels to Glasgow to meet a gardener whose hands-off approach to his garden has reaped rewards for wildlife. Adam Frost visits a garden in Wales where a potentially unpromising and rocky site has been transformed, while Carol Klein seeks out the planting partners which are holding their own as the season moves into autumn. Mark Lane explores Nymans in West Sussex to find out how the garden is managed with sustainability at its heart, and in Somerset we find out about some unusual uses of plants from a gardener who has developed a forest garden.
