Diarmuid Gavin wants our gardens to become havens for wildlife. He visits a RSPB nature reserve in Yorkshire to understand how important our gardens are to Britain's wildlife population. He meets a group of gardeners at one of the country's only chemical-free community wildlife allotments and encourages the people of Sheffield to grow wildflowers in their gardens to attract pollinators by giving them a taste for flower-flavoured honey.

Diarmuid creates a small wildflower patch, gives tips on creating the ideal wildlife habitats and shows how to construct a nifty pond in a pot to bring in birds and insects.

Charlie Dimmock is determined to make the peony the star of our beds and borders again. On her revival, she visits a nursery in Somerset - one of the oldest in the UK - which has been championing peonies for over 150 years, and she sets up a pop-up peony stall in a Bristol market to spread the word about her campaign. Throughout the programme, Charlie shares her tips on how to get the best from peonies - she shows how to plant a tree peony and tackles the issue of maintenance as she gives her pointers on pruning.
