The last of Gardeners' World 2024, boo. But we will be back to recap the winter specials starting next week, yay! First up, Arit Anderson takes us to Marchants Hardy Plants in East Sussex to chat with Henry Macaulay, their head gardener. We then meet Hafsah Hafeji at Aisgill Community Hub in Earls Court and see the fantastic work she does with her team of volunteers, including Shirley, Elaine, Leroy Douglas and Floyd. We join Sue Kent to meet Caroline Crocker at her place in Plymouth where she's transformed the topography of her garden and the planting in just one year. We see the incredible transformation of a disused polytunnel at St Andrews Healthcare in Birmingham and Marcin Ruta and Claire Page from Moss Clerks in Hawick lead us into the wonderful world of mosses.

This week's guest is Geoff Stonebanks who tells us all about his dream garden, which is surprisingly similar to his actual garden Driftwood by Sea! Geoff opens his garden through the National Garden Scheme and has raised and continues to raise incredible amounts for charity. He featured on Gardeners' World 2024 episode 2 and also back in 2016 so is a regular on the show.

We had a giggle hearing about Geoff's background as a chef, his penchant for Christmas decorations (despite his partner's dislike of all things Christmas) and his palm-house packed with agaves and succulents.

We're thrilled to debut a new series in our Not Just a Garden line-up - A Good Ol' Chit-Chat With...! During these episodes our guests tell us about their dream garden and we find out more about them and their lives along the way.

In this episode we were very lucky to be able to chat with the wonderful Amir Mohammed from Amir's Allotment, you may remember him from his "Your Gardens" segment on Gardeners' World in 2023 and again later on Gardeners' World 2024 Compilations ep1. We covered a lot of ground including Bob the robin, happy childhood memories and the magic of woodlands. 

Amir's beautiful YouTube Channel Amir's Allotment can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/@AmirsAllotment

Amir also mentions Pan Global Plants in Gloucestershire, and anything else he mentions can be found here: https://notjustagarden.co.uk/gardens/

Frances Tophill is at Powderham Castle again this week, with Rua and Jeanette, where she's planting tulip bulbs, digging up weeds, drying hydrangeas (by wetting them!) and cutting back rose root stock. Rachel de Thame is at Pettifers Garden in Banbury and talks to us more about the relationship between pollinators and flowers. Eddie Bailey (RhizoPhyllia) in Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire gives us a fascinating masterclass on compost, and finally Carol Klein is in her garden at Glebe Cottage, talking to us about collecting seeds.
