: 26, 2012

With Halloween just round the corner, Monty Don is harvesting his pumpkins and showing how to store them for roasts, soups and stews in the coming months. Joe Swift visits a high-end garden in London to get some tips on how clever landscaping and the use of lighting can turn a small space into an outdoor room which can be used all year round. Carol Klein is in Wales to find out how the versatile willow can be used by the gardener to bring form and colour to winter borders. There are over 400 different kinds of willow and for millennia they have been used by man for everything from weaving to fuel. Back at Longmeadow, Monty is planting up his containers in preparation for next spring.
