Daffodils and Blossom Trees & Shrubs
Television gardeners try to save the nation's gardening heritage. Carol Klein praises daffodils and Chris Beardshaw campaigns for blossom.
Carol Klein reveals that she is daft about daffodils. On her revival, she uncovers the history of the UK daffodil industry on a visit to Cornwall's Tamar Valley, takes to the streets of Falmouth and paints the town yellow, and meets a specialist bulb merchant in Somerset. Carol shares her tips and advice on how easy it is to plant, grow and care for this wonderful spring flower.
Chris Beardshaw is on the blossom campaign trail. On his revival, he visits a man in the Scottish Borders who has restored a walled garden and created a living library of heritage fruit trees, takes to his bike on the blossom trail in Worcestershire and meets a woman in Edinburgh who has been campaigning to save the flowering cherry trees on her street from the chop. Chris gives his guide to the best blossoming trees and shrubs, shares his tips on how to plant a magnolia tree and shows us how a spot of pruning can keep blossom returning year after year.
