RHS Bridgewater
This week, Kathy Clugston is at RHS Bridgewater to answer a variety of gardening questions. She's joined by plant experts Neil Porteous, Marcus Chilton-Jones and Bunny Guinness.
How do I persuade my peace lily to re-flower? Should climbers grow inside or outside wiring? Can you cure my garden performance anxiety?
Ready to answer these questions, and also to share their tips and tricks on a variety of cuttings and cultivars are garden designer Bunny Guinness, garden consultant Neil Porteous, and curator of RHS Garden Bridgewater Marcus Chilton-Jones.
Kathy and Marcus take a trip into the wilderness of the RHS Bridgewater grounds to discuss the best trees to plant in a limited space.
