With autumn on the horizon, the seasonal planting of bulbs for spring-flowering begins at Longmeadow.

Frances Tophill meets a gardener whose allotment is filled with both traditional and exotic vegetables, and Toby Buckland visits The Newt in Somerset to find out about its chequered garden history and to explore its emergence as one of the UK’s most exciting gardens. There is another chance to see Mark Lane travel to Oxfordshire to look at how ornamental grasses, perennials and annuals can be used in planting design to create exciting combinations, and the team meets a gardener in Northamptonshire who uses the plants in her garden to extract natural dyes for fabrics.

And there is a selection of films from viewers' gardens.
