Gardening with Carol Klein

The gardening expert reveals some of the seasonal changes since the last trip to Glebe Cottage in the spring. The mood has shifted into misty and mellow - colours and light are changing, the temperature is dropping and everything is slowing down. Not everything is ready for cropping yet - the Jerusalem artichokes still need a few more weeks before their roots will be ready for soup making.

At Glebe Cottage, Carol is shining a light on grasses in all their autumnal glory. She also takes viewers on a tour of her favourites, demonstrates how easy they are to cultivate, and how they make a magnificent addition to even the smallest garden.

One of the most enjoyable tasks of autumn gardening is the annual planting of spring-flowering bulbs. From daffodils to a particularly delightful iris, and from tulips to camassias, Carol Klein reveals how, where and why to plant some of her favourites. Plus, the best way to plant garlic.

The weather adds another seasonal dimension, with heavy showers demanding a retreat to the cosy potting shed, where Carol demonstrates how to divide ranunculus before giving advice on choosing and cultivating peonies. Carol takes a trip to the local train station to have a look at its clematis, known as Traveller's Joy, comparing it with the variety she has growing in her garden.

Carol advises on choosing and planting evergreens that can give year-round colour and structure, and explains why they don't lose their leaves for winter. She also provides a fresh take on ivy, which are wildlife friendly and versatile plants, showing how they can benefit even the tiniest outside space.
